Resignation
Your silhouette lingers and I can’t forget your voice,
the sensation of your touch stings like glass beneath my toes-
I have triggers that relinquish the memories given without a choice,
but I have always known how the sorrowful story goes.
Your abandonment reminded me of days long ago,
you surrendered me with such ease as you renounced my care-
I lived in your world for so long I can’t remember your steady flow,
but I always knew you’d think releasing me was quite fair.
Your passivity lapsed into the mourning of lost moments,
it was the death of a loved one that brought trouble to my intellect-
But you held no compassion and I was left without deserved atonement,
your rejection to my heartfelt needs left you without regret.
Your meekness inside your soul gave me reasons to grieve,
I am a disregarded waiver handed over as the wind sways into the trees-
I never thought my broken heart would be the reason you’d leave,
I’ll never understand how you ordered such a compliant decree.
You renounced me as if I deserved to be tossed into the sea-
I am nothing but a submission, your left over silent debris.
