When you left,
Love left,
Warmth left,
Good left,
Joy Left,
Light left,
Hope left,
Peace left,
Strength left,
Courage left,
Trust left,
Belief left,
Promises left,
Dreams left,
Life left,
What was left behind,
Is an empty,
Broken me,
Who only seeks you,
In everything, and everywhere,
Only to live the reality of your lacking embrace,
To feed on the excruciating absence,
Darkness laughs at me,
Emptiness mocks me,
And loneliness tells the tale,
Of how alone I have become,
When life turned barren,
When you became an angel,
I got handed to the devil,
Who runs in my veins,
We call it pain,
I don't lack it,
It's more than the blood,
It's more than the tears I shed,
It's more than the screams I have kept,
It's more than my breath,
It never finishes,
It's in so much excess,
That my life would expire,
But the pain would still be there like a hell's fire,
To burn me alive, to turn me into ashes,
And let my tears be the proof of the agony,
I am living a life that lacks you,
Lacks love, lacks everything,
Because you were, and still are my everything,
Without you, I am left with nothing,
So when love left,
I forgot how to live,
So I am just breathing.
