Gone

You told me you'd never leave

Made me dream of plans for the future

Had I considered the endless possibilities of our lives intertwining

And all for what

So you could rip whatever sweetness remained in me

Leaving me like a carcass for the vultures to devour

All over what?

For lies you gave yourself or because you secretly wanted this all along

Not even a glance back

A warning of what was to come

As you left the keys you walked away with the piece of gave you

only to leave it at the foot of the door unable to return to its origin

Left to rot on the floor as the owner of it watched

No scream, no tear just a void feeling in the center of its chest

A sensation of pain, and not of the good kind, unwelcomed

Unable to speak unable to cope

The last of the hope

Gone along with its host
