You held my
Heart
And kept it
Safe
From all harm
Till the day you turned
And dropped it
I felt it hit the ground
I felt it
I miss your caress
Your soft gentle hands
On my heart
You dropped it though
Now I don't feel
Your love
Your care
All I feel is the pain
The impact
The splatter of my heart
As it hit the pavement
At your feet
I begged and screamed
Cried
Wailed
Pleaded
You didn't hear
You were distracted
Taken from me
Like a leaf as the wind tears it
From the branches of
Its loving tree
In the cool night of autumn
I was hurt
Dying
You stopped hearing me
I called your name
I begged for
An answer
None came
Slowly I learned
I didn't need you
To live
I needed to pick up
My heart
A simple action
I thought only you could make
I picked myself up
Walked away and tried to not look back
At you
At pain
At suffering
But
Every now
And again
I see you turn and let go
I see my heart slip from your gentle
Caress
The caress I depended on
For life
Love
Feeling
I no longer need you
Your caress
Nothing but a
Memory
I'm fine now
I tell my self
I'm okay
I will move on
And
Slowly
I have
I no longer
Feel
The loss
The pain I once
Felt is gone
I only have
Regret
It is slowly killing me
Slowly I realize
How much
Time
I wasted
On you
All of it on
You
You
You and your
Caress
