I loved you so fiercely.

You said you loved me the same.

So why did you leave so abruptly.

Leaving me with nothing but blame.

I cried for you, howled for you.

I begged you to stay.

Without a reason or explanation,

As I watched you prepare to fly away.

You’re leaving left me hollow.

I laid there for months.

Wishing each time I closed my eyes,

I’d wake to it being just a haunt.

But oh it was ever real and ever changing.

The ache beneath my chest.

I prayed my heart would stop beating.

I prayed you had never left.

But each day as I painfully awoke,

The space next to me empty.

The absence of you was more than full and plenty.

You changed me in the worst of ways.

Ways that were irreversible.

I am still changed by who I was with you,

Forever irrevocable.
