Where have you gone?

A romance like magma rivers flowing
Open communication in abundance,
Now dripping in a desolating silence.

My heart scorched in tendrils of whispered wistful wishes now washed away down the stream of lies you carved.

Does my love not compare to her? Or the one before?
Was I but a drunken mistake you kept returning to?

You brought me alight with passion and love but now dwindling down and burning out.

It was a promise of change— you'd be different but you ended up the same as all that came before.

My heart can't bear this pain anymore.

Where have you gone?

It was weeks of begging, the time had lapsed. I'd begged for change and that never gets you far—only had it broken my heart.

I gave you space but you asked for more. We grew apart it seems, you had your foot out the door.

Why did you tell me then, that you still loved me? Did you like my face full of melancholy?

My feelings are no game
Though you were a puppet master in the grand scheme of my happiness...
but I'm no longer playing.

Where have you gone?
