Everybody leavesA Poem by Vivien ShapiroEven if I do fall in love again It'll never be the way I loved you
There were times in my life I felt so lost I didn't even know who I was anymore
I felt so alone and everything just seemed so dark Then I met him and he lit up my world like nobody ever could He made me want to be a better person He made me realize I didn't want to stop breathing When I was with him all my problems seemed like little specks of dust And when I cried he'd hold me close and he'd wipe away my tears telling me it'll all be okay in the end And I believed him Then the dark days came again I slowly started to lose myself He stopped calling He didn't walk me home anymore When he talked to me it was as if he wasn't really there And I cried I cried so much Because I knew that he was fading away When the day finally came he looked me in the eyes and told me he didn't love me anymore Every bone in my body ached All the blood going through my veins began to rot And my tears fell like drops of rain down my cheeks I begged him not to leave me I begged him to stay But no matter how much I wanted it I knew it couldn't happen he was gone The flame that he had lit up my life with was burnt out and his arms weren't warm anymore they felt cold and unwelcoming His eyes no longer glimmered So I let him go And as he walked away into the fog I realized Part of me left with him © 2014 Vivien Shapiro |
