Since you’ve been gone, 
My days and nights seem so long

I try so hard to ignore the time, 
remembering just one month ago you were mine

I think and wonder every single day,
what really made you decide to stray?

It happened all so quick I looked to turn around, 
you were gone and didn't even make a sound

Everywhere I go I see you standing there, 
but then it’s no one as I continue to stare

I swear I hear your voice calling out my name,
but it’s the sound of the empty house where just your
spirit remains

Going to sleep each night is still so hard to do,
I hold your pillow tight wishing it were you

I cry myself to sleep and lay in a puddle of tears,
wondering why you would give up all our invested years?

I have never missed someone as much as I miss you,
I really thought our love was special, didn’t you?

I wish you would have talked to me and told me how you feel,
but instead you kept it all inside pretending your love was
real

You made me promises and strung me right along,
how could you decide to do me so wrong?

You shattered my dreams and ripped my heart in two,
did you really think I wouldn't be affected by this huh,
didn't you?

I still can’t believe you chose to walk away, 
you acted like it was nothing just like any other day

You toyed with my mind and played with my head, 
now I lay alone at night sleeping in our bed

I guess you didn't think that I have a heart too,
I loved your family just as much as I loved you

You took it all away, you stripped me of what was good,
I gave you my heart and soul and in return you never
understood

True love is everyday 24-7,
not at your convenience like a 7-11

Love is through thick and thin through good times and bad,
Not just during the happy when you chose to ignore the sad

I guess one day you’ll see what we really had,
then probably look back and realize it wasn't all so bad

Like every grain of sand was a token of our love, 
when you look at the moon above, 
just know that you are still loved

I hope you find what it is you are searching for,
I still pray everyday that you will show up at my front
door

I don't know if that day will ever come, 
I find myself waiting like the rising of the sun

I wonder what you are thinking? I wonder what you feel?
You never want to talk about it 
what’s the deal?

You said you weren’t dumping me, you said it’s not
forever,
Did you just say that for the pure pleasure?

You can’t leave me hanging, 
I wish you’d tell me now
Is there any chance for us some way, some day, some how?

I’m so tired of crying, 
I’m tired of all this pain, 
Inside my head feels like a heavy rain

I’m getting on with my life with or without you in it,
I thought every day would get better, 
but it just isn't

What hurts the most is I don't know if you feel the same,
not knowing just adds to my pain

I’ve left you alone as you requested,
while inside my heart remains un-rested

All I did was love you from the bottom of my heart,
was it something I did that caused you to part?

I got a bad rap I got crapped on in life, I’m sorry you
got dragged in it
I wish my light would have been more bright

I allowed you hold me back because I was weak,
We were on the same drum but tapping to a different beat

Of all the people in the world I never expected this of
you,
To be so cold and heartless and thinking of only what’s
best for Who? You!

To leave me without any kind of notice, not even a clue
Then leave me with all the bills past due

What’s done is done and you decided to run
You’ll find yourself running in circles only to return
where you just begun
Have Fun!

You don't want to talk and you ignore my calls
That’s gotta take a lot of balls

I’ll get over it one day I’m sure, and hopefully you
will be just one big blur
Someone who I thought loved me but decided to dump me

Thanks for all your time, this is the end of my rhyme.
