Lost in my truth...Trapped in your lies.......

The lights haven't been as bright as they used to be,

nor are the rains as moist.

The sun isn't as warm as it was,

now that you just aren't "that" close to me.

Everything around me is so still,

time seems to have come to a halt.

There is silence even within the noises,

and weakness in my "used to be strong" will.

My soul is incomplete, empty and void,

body drags lifeless and dull.

I am engulfed in our memories and cold despair,

with plethora of pain and a love destroyed.

Our times together are long gone and so are you.

My days are now drab, lackluster,

nights lonely, painful stab.

All that I believed in was lies and nothing seems to be true...

"You should've fought harder
and maybe WE could've gotten farther...

When I thought we could've had it all

YOU left ME broken whilst in his arms you still stand tall...

At the peak of all this mess

YOU gave up on ME and settled for less...

YOU were blinded and just couldn't see 

He is nothing compared to what I am and everything I used to be..."

"There is silence even within the noises"
This is my favorite line, expresses so much. The entire poem held me captivated by the emotional depth and sincerity shown throughout. The colors and capitalization added so much as well. Very well written, B.

I was going through this so recently... This is all very well-expressed. I like your implications with all the colors and capitalization. It gets better :) Just trace back to when you had it all and try to find the key thing that you've lost. Then get it back.

I remember reading your poems few years back.
You have remarkably improved.

Never stop exercising your talent.

This is sad...I like the beginning the most...when you love or care for someone and are around them days seem to be brighter and such but when they leave days can seem dark and grey. I do believe people get over these feelings though...sometimes it takes longer than what we want. It's hard to let go sometimes, hope your days soon will become bright again.

Good Job
