Poem: You Left

You left me alone

To fend for myself

You left me alone

I’m left without help

You left me in debt

A debt I must pay

But how will I pay it

So it goes away

Do you even care

What happens to me

Or is it more important

You set yourself free

No warning about

The ending to come

I’m left in the dark

Here hoping for some

For some sort of sign

About your plans

About the future

I held in my hands

Thought you were forever

But you chose to end

The great thing you started

When you held my hand

Now I’m left to wonder

About what went wrong

That made you want space

For who knows how long

There isn’t a phone call

No email or text

No how are you doing

What’s happening next

We’re still tied together

And yet you are gone

You’re living your life

While I can’t go on

How long will it be

Till I know how it ends

So I can start living

Not playing pretend

Poem: I Still Think About You

No matter what I do
I still think about you
You are always on my mind
Morning, day, and night
And one thing is clear
It’s hard without you here

Written September 8, 2025

You’re the last thing on my mind
As I drift to the land of dreams
And the first thing every morning
When I open my eyes it seems

Like you have woken up early
But the silence it fills the room
And the side of your bed is empty
Though I still make the bed for two

How I yearn to hold your hand
How I yearn to with cuddle you
As we fall asleep together
That’s the thing I look forward to

But you are no longer here
Only memories that float in my head
For now I’ll take that over nothing
Though I wish you were here in our bed

Poem: No Action

I never envisioned this ending

I never envisioned this strife

Guess I was a fool in pretending

That you and I bonded for life

But we never worked on our problems

We let the days go as they went

And whenever we had our long talks

It just gave us a reason to vent

There wasn't a change in the making

There wasn't a move to evolve

No steps that we both were taking

To help our issues resolve

If we never acted on anything

If we both shut down inside

Then of course our dreams lay dormant

We were stuck on the same old ride

If only we both took action

Or at least if one of us tried

Then maybe we'd still be together

And my heart wouldn't drown when I cried

Poem: Torn and Broken

You tell me you’re leaving

But you are still here

Don’t know what you’re doing

Can you make it clear

You’re playing with my heart

And you’re scarring me deep

I’m torn and I’m broken

It’s hard not to weep

Yet you seem unbothered

Keep living your life

As if nothing’s wrong

As if I’m not your wife

Poem: What Do I Do?

Do I give you what you want

So you won’t leave me

Do I lie to you in hopes

That you’ll believe me

Or do I tell you this is it

Take it or leave it

Will you stay or will you go

Hard to believe it

This is something that you want

And it’s not a give and take

I have no say in what you do

I can’t believe you want a break

You say it’s only temporary

But I don’t think this is the case

Once you are gone for just a while

You won’t return to our place

Poem: Fading Away

I should’ve done all to make you stay

I shouldn’t have let you get away

Instead I just froze and stayed that way

And what we had had died that day

There’s nothing left for me to say
I cannot face another day
Without you here I cannot stay
My mere existence fading away

If I cannot function when I press play
Then what am I doing here anyway
An inner voice whispers to me today
It should’ve been me that died that day
