my hand reaches out,
but you are not there.
I dance in the kitchen,
but you do not stare.
I look for your eyes,
but they do not see.
you are gone;
it is just me.
I am alone,
but that is okay.
it is better,
to be isolated this way.
I need to stop missing
who you were,
all the kisses and hugs and love;
they are all a blur.
a blur overshadowed,
by malice so deep.
when I think of the pain,
it keeps me from sleep.
that look in your eyes,
when it went so dark;
I cannot forget it,
you have made your mark.
so even though it hurts,
I have to move on.
to be alone;
find a new future to gaze upon.
who I am is worth more,
more than you ever gave.
I don't deserve to be hurt,
for the past you never forgave.
