What Am I Gonna Do?

What am I gonna do

now that you have slipped away

How can I rise from this dispair

to face another day?

 

Where did the colors go

on the canvas of my life

It's like someone erased them,

bled them out with a knife.

 

How did I lose you

when I want you still so much

There is no feeling left in me

My fingers numb to touch.

 

What did I do???

Oh, how can this be???

I have control but none at all

my will, now so weak.

 

How will I live

each day void of you?

You are the fuel that feeds my soul-

Now what will I do??

 

You have slipped away

and it's of my own accord

The luxury of loving you

no longer can afford.

Just sad

Yes it is very sad, as unrequited love always is, so empty. I like your placement of words...skillfully used. You make your point loud and clear with flowing, rhyming prose. I hope this is fiction, but I somehow doubt it.
You write with your heart in place and even though it may break at times...keep writing!
Cheers from Down Under,

It is hard when you lose the one you love
The reason for doing what you do, I know so well. For they are similar to the reasons
I stay, but we will find the strength within us to do what's best for us our children
and the ones we love
I'm right there beside you rowing this boat, let's see if we can
set a new path shall we
You're in my thoughts and one day all will be right again
