I Didn'T Hear You Leave

I didn't hear you leave. Where have you gone to? No door slam, no angry words, just a midnight flee to freedom. I didn't hear you leave. Did you tell me you were going? Did I miss it in the mayhem of life's confusion? You were with me on the same path - where did it split? Was I so preoccupied I didn't notice you take a different route? You're gone now. Silence and emptiness resound in the room. Empty coat hangers of finality clatter in the void of what was, then, before we separated, whenever it was the separation began. I didn't hear you leave. You went so quietly. No forwarding address, just emptiness - Where did you go?
