She Was Gone
He had planned to marry her,
to consecrate his vows in holy matrimony
But those delicate sentiments had been shattered
by his own actions, his awakening came too late,
There was nothing left to mediate..
He was in delirium after she departed,
She laughed at his obtuse explanation
for why he cheated, slamming the door as she left
it was over, finished, done!
The wealth of blissful emotions that love provided
Had been replaced with the indigent emotions of a broken heart
His egregious actions left him saddened,
Hours later he stumbled out of a bar
Having drowned his sorrows in the abyss of his pain.
