Poems I Wrote

Gone

Gone

Stolen kisses, sweet smiles
Just to see me, you travel miles
A soft touch, a gentle embrace
You die a little when you see my face

The flowers you sent were colorful and bright
The letters you wrote were my favorite sight
Our pictures together captured and froze time
Our favorite songs played and the lyrics rhymed

But flowers lived shortly; they die after a while
The words of your letters no longer made me smile
Our pictures froze time, and there it stood still
Our songs lost meaning and so did your will

The laughter, the smiles and the stupid little jokes
Were replaced with hurt and silence as our hearts broke
There was no point of keeping the fire alive
When the fire that wasn't meant to start already started to die

Maybe it was love at one point in our time
Maybe it wasn't but that doesn't mean we're fine
Whatever it was we had, whatever we thought we won
Those things, those times - they're already gone

My heart still beats, but it's no longer for you
I know you must feel the same too
These feelings of ours faded and we fell out
I think we should stop this, I think there's no doubt

I can't breathe and a part of me feels dead
The colors I used to imagine were now gray in my head
I don't want to stay but I don't want to leave
The internal battle continues as our hearts grieve

Take the pain, there's no pleasure in this anymore
Nobody's stopping anybody from walking out the door
I said let's stop this; we're going nowhere
You quietly nodded, saying it was fine, it was fair

No one was happy, no one cried
But I think a little part of me died
The fire between us that burned so hot, so bright
Extinguished completely without us putting up a fight

It's been ages since that decision took place
I wonder if you think about the past in some ways
But that doesn't matter anymore, because we're through it, we're done
Whatever it was we held on to, it's already gone

Wrote this before my Business Law class in the evening. Yeaaah.
