David William Breidenthal Poet Free verse

The One That Left Me Behind

You were the one that got away from my grasp angrily
You said your apologies, but face the music
I promised you and I would be truly free from captivity
You aren't replaceable...your tune is so therapeutic 

You were the one that got away from my embrace 
You said your goodbyes and left without a trace
I wiped my tears of grief and seek total relief
I am but a single fall leaf, floating in your reef

You took advantage of me and you still don't care
You're only playing the dumb game of truth and dare
Good feelings fade away the moment you walk away from my presence
These emotions are so intense that I must release them in a sense

Caught myself thinking of you all night and day
Shot myself in the head with dread and dismay
I find my lost soul in the river of tears 
I've been frozen in my childish fears

Loneliness is the only thing that loves me back
Feelings of satisfaction is what I actually lack
The pressure of the world makes my lips quiver 
It also makes my hopeless heart beat so much harder

You were the one that got away
I was the one that got away today
The gray of today makes me feel numb and quite depressed to be honest
I'm trying my best to spread my wings and soar in the misery-bound mist

I was pretending that you were the one that was found in my arms of love
I was thinking of a happily ever after, but that wouldn't be enough for me to build strength to fly up above
You were the one that got away from the room of doom 
I am the one that assumed that you're gone because of me and my gloom

I've been searching all around for you
You just disappeared out of the blue
Are you really the one that got away?
Are you now shining bright like the day?

I'm a deep shade of black
You're the shade of green and blue
I'm really wanting you back
Who knew you'd be the one that got away without a clue

Where have you been? 
Are you gone forever in the wilderness of shame? I can't describe how speechless and enraged I am - this is lame
Have you left again?
Are you the one that got away and placed the blame on me? You know, I don't want to played with like a game
