When You Went Away

I would have made it known to you That you hurt me bad when you went away I would have been there for you In each and every day But you said you had decided for good Not giving me a chance a word to say. Its not only the words you said Which smashed the receptacle of my heart But also the silence I got to know During the times you were gone Each time remembered I receive like a dart Where the heart is the target. For a time I wished Time would heal this hurting wound With natures flowers and butterflies All around me Revealing comforting beauty To distract disturbing thoughts of you. But the eye in the sky Kept watch as I suffered in my torment And the wind would keep silence All through my tearing time That would add waters to the running rivers During my lonely days I felt I had lost it all Cares and everything But I did show it many a times Your wishes and dreams Far away beyond mine You found the arms of another man.
