Why have you?

Why have you?

A Poem by Curtis.Lenker

Why did you awaken him? 
A demon hidden deep within
memories flow from my eyes
like rain form the sky 
at the very mention of your name.
Dead memories buried in my heart 
of a love lost and gone. 
Facing the monster I have feared 
since the day you left. 
Wondering why I am so miserable 
without you by my side. 
Realizing the monster I was 
while we were one. 
I gave you everything and 
you gave me the world.
Yet we failed each other 
at this game call love.
Confronting the beast I 
wanted to avoid.
Fighting a loosing battle 
a war within has gone wrong.
Why have you come back?

I understand the feeling of the one left alone but still loving at all...found comfort through living in good memories...but once the one who left comes back, the wound becomes fresh again.
This is emotional for me. Thanks for sharing.
