When You Left

I was happy before I met you. I was happier when I was with you. But now I am cold and sad. It's funny how that works.

i won't lie to myself

say that it

doesn't hurt like hell

it feels

like my being

was stripped from me

and all i am left with

is what held

what trapped

what caged

my soul

because i know

you won't call me

i won't hear

that sweet voice

that warms my body

you will

never again

say how 

lucky you are

or

how much

you love me

i am

totally

and completely

hallow

grief is a b***h

especially when

i know

you're still here

alive and well
