Lonley Echos
The sun sets in the west as you walk out the door. I stand here unsure how I feel. Not sad
not happy, just a little numb. You’ve been my whole world for so long and now my whole
world just walked out the door and I don’t feel a thing. You turn and look at me the tear in
your eye hits me like a punch in the gut. You tell me you love me and I tell you the same is it
true or is it a lie we tell each other to ease the pain. I can’t tell. As you walk to your car I
close the door as I stand alone I here you drive away. As the sound of your car fades in the
distance. It hits me. Alone in the silence. There is no victory in this battle of hearts. Just the
lonely echo of what was and what can never be again.
