Stormy PoeticJustice

I’d never known the joy of life

until you came that May –

and I’d never known the sorrow,

until you walked away.

 

I woke up every single day,

just praying that you cared.

But then I saw what took my place,

and now I find I’m scared.

 

I cried myself to sleep at night,

a sad song in my heart,

because, back then, you said to me,

we’d never be apart.

 

I never thought I’d ever lose

the love you said I’d earned,

but every time I came to you,

I found I just got burned.

 

You left me here to fight myself,

my past, my fear, and pain.

And now I have nothing to lose

and nothing left to gain.
