Shattered

Your heart was all I wished to possess 
Leaving you whole in my arms, giving you rest. 
Hurt to be something far from your mind. 
The best life I can give for someone one of a kind. 
Most foolish of me to not see how your heart was aligned. 

Some would say time allows all wounds heal
Healing though is something you did steal
Away from me, when you chose to fade 
To nothing, when I wish you’d have stayed
To everyone else you wish to have laid. 
Eager abandonment of me, though I never strayed. 
Remember when you were my world, all about which I would boast? 
Every memory haunting now, you the specter, the ghost. 
Decimating me completely. Because your leaving..hurt the most…
