Left

Before I knew what, who, why, where.
It left me here with this blank stare.
The worlds been turning faster than I could spin.
Looking for love turned outside in.

The shades of grey begin to fade.
When years go by not making the grade.
And someday comes and dissappears. 
All cried out with no more tears.

Answers only reminisce in questions that your past's dismiss.
Evasive sence of that long lost kiss.
The sorrowful solemness of no goodbye.
She changed her mind and didn't say why.

Now I realize that I've been left.
With no regard if I'm bereft.
To wither or replant that seed of hope.
A roller coaster ride just trying to cope.

The devil left, the angel right by my side.
It's hard to know what's true when sometimes in both you confide.
My blood still runs warm through viens misconstrued.
Some understand, some just think you're rude.

So I just continue to try to see what i can see.
Since there's nobody left here to ask but me.
No words of wisdom here, just grey matter of fact.
A confession of reality with not a syllable to retract.
