A Love Lost

My life has been so lonely and cold
My baby walked out the door
Leaving me behind with a broken heart and memories of what used to be
I cry myself to sleep
Dreaming of what used to be
His photo stares at me from my nighstand
Beautiful caramel complexion
Luscious lips
Dimples as deep as the Grand Canyon
Smile like the sunrise
How I wish I could touch him once more
My baby walked out the door
Leaving me lonely and cold
Pain forever etched in my heart
I now wear my heart on my sleeve
The one I always thought would be there is not
I am a prisoner of love
How could he leave so suddenly ?
So abruptly
Before I awoke, he was on the next thing smoking
Without him, I can barely breathe
Will I ever find anyone worthy to replace him ?
Will the type of love we once shared come knocking at my door again ?
It feels like only yesterday that he picked me up in his arms
And carried me away
While planting gentle kisses on my neck
Memories turn to wishful thinking
Leaving me lonely and cold
