Now That You're Gone

I only knew time had passed us by,
With my questions echoing in darkness,
Until they grow faint and die.

But I asked myself what I'd done,
How come I feel so lonely
Now that you're gone?

We weren't really friends, you and I,
We didn't even get along,
And as it were, I didn't want to try.

Yet I only see you before my eyes,
Grinning slightly;
You're enough to melt the coldest ice.

But a pretty face wasn't it,
You were complex,
So full of s**t.

You were always so manipulating,
Greedy for power,
Anticipating.

What was it that you waited for?
I often wondered with annoyance,
Why did you always crave for more?

Someone like you, a Master of fire and flame,
Couldn't possibly be unsatisfied,
Knowing all the rules of this hellish game.

And with you insulting and on your guard,
I had no problem saying
'I hate you, stupid B*****d.'

But no matter how nasty and mean,
You were a rock in the storm
On which I could lean.

I see now you were the only thing there
To hold together the world I knew
And keeping it from breaking apart in despair.

Though I don't think I'll ever forget,
Those stinging words I received,
Without a hint of regret.

So I'm embracing all this with an aching heart,
Good and bad memories you,
And I think it's a sign that I'm falling apart.

Because, my dear Flame, after all that you've said and done,
I cannot help but wonder why I feel so lonely
Now that you're gone

This was just kind of thrown together, but I sort of like the way it turned out...

I Like the way you expressed yourself here and there's no really nice way to poetically say what you wanted the message to say and you said it well
