We Are No More

Watching you walk away
Leaving me standing alone
I reflect back to yesterday.
You said you want to be on your own

We were once inseparable
Like two peas in a pod, we were
Our love was once undeniable
But you threw it away to be with her.

Once we'd walk in the moonlight
Watching it shine on the sea.
While illuminating our night.
Now it's your silhouette that I see.

Your love is now dark and cold 
What was once warm and nice
It was both strong and bold
But it came with the ultimate price.

Loving you was all I wanted to do
Giving you all I have in me
But my heart is broken in two
I'm no longer who I used to be.

We are never static, but always changing, growing, transforming. Every experience in life alters who we are. Nice poem, good flow, easy read.

This reminds me of our opioid crisis and how people fell in its trap after a period of depression. Miss hearing from you. Jim Horn
