What Happened to Us
I’m looking at you and wondering—
what happened to us?
Did we lose what we had,
or was it even there?
Slowly, you fade.
I try to hold on,
but you turn to mist.
Nothing is left
but the emptiness.
It’s cold
where your arms once wrapped me
and held me close.
You’re gone.
I’m alone.
And it isn’t that I did you wrong—
you showed me love,
yet I was unsure what to do.
Everything I worked for
doesn’t feel new,
because I’d rather have had you used,
so I could put you back together
with pieces of me...
instead of breaking you down from perfect.
Because that’s what you were to me—
my hopes, my dreams,
my reality.
Never changing.
Never ending.
But you’re gone.
And I’m alone.
What happened to us?
Chances not taken.
Promises broken.
Found love—now lost.
We no longer have forever.
It’s turned into a clock
counting down.
And you are missing...
