He's Gone
by Tarryn
(Gisborne, New Zealand)
He's Gone
Innocence forsaken;
broken and bleeding.
Red blood drops from my fingertips.
Why did he call me that?
Where did his love go?
What did I do?
Those questions terrorize my mind.
Haunting me through the night.
As the flower wilted and the heartbroken dove died,
So did my heart.
It broke inside.
My placid dreams, turned into monstrous nightmares,
Flickering out of control.
My innocence gone.
My white dress stained.
The life in my soul,
running out like sand through an hourglass.
Why breathe?
Why fill my lungs?
Air gives me life yet suffocates me,
Like a poisonous gas.
Death will be easy.
No more pain,
no more blood.
Dark red blood trickling down my arm,
my blood turns black.
My eyes stare blankly at the darkness outside my window.
What is love?
What is my love for him?
He's gone.
I'm leaving.
Our love will be like the wind.
You won't see it.
But you will feel it.
Like I felt it.
As the breath is sucked out of my lungs
and my tears stop falling,
The peaceful wind continues to blow,
Whistling gently, forever slow.
Get back your lost love
