Walking Away

Even true love can rip your heart out.

You left me when I trusted you most. Now my only comfort is the sight of your ghost.

It hurts to love you but you cannot see the amount of sorrow you left for me.

I stand in my tears aching for one more day but you left me now I'm forced to walk away.

It's too hard to breathe with you so near but your absence has made it clear.

No matter how much I love you you'll never be back. Now I'm left here to walk away
... since you have passed.

Author's Note

My fiance passed away suddenly in August 2022. It's been hell to live without him but I'm learning to pick up the pieces and keep going but I still fall in his memory and cry my eyes out as my heart bleeds. Rest in peace Robbie Dale Thibodeaux. You are forever loved and no one will ever replace you.

I especially like the first line.

This rips the heart out. No need for metaphor or hiding emotion between the lines.
This just comes right out and slaps us in the heart.
