Since You Left Me

Since you left me...

I fall asleep alone every night

No one there if I wake in the middle of the night

No warmth of your body or the weight that pressed against the sheets next to me.

Empty.

Empty is the word that discribes the space I lay next to.

Since you left me...

I don't really want to talk to anyone else.

I let people get close but not close enough to touch.

I try to open up but then I just slam the door in their face.

And pretend that they don't exist.

Since you left me...

I miss holding your hand

The way you look at me

Your smile

Your hugs

I miss you.

But since you left me...

I rip my heart open and just bleed.

I let my emotions soil the paper

Ink smeared and no longer legable

Since you left me...

I have become an artist.

Thank you for leaving so I can find myself again.

Thank you for leading me back to a lost passion.

Thank you for leaving ME!
