In Pencil

(poems go here) Quietly, without notice, she walks out. Feeling left alone, i wave goodbye.
goodbye my dearest, thanks for leaving our happy home,
Where our loves was meant to grow.
Do you still exspect me to sleep in this bed? Which smells of you?
Or cook in a kitchen, small enough for just two.
Was it not enough? i tried every gawd damn day to make you smile.
i gave you everything you wanted.
My heart was surrendered around your neck like a gawdy chain,
you just had to have. Ripped out of my chest, just for you.
Was it not enough? Could this life, we share be replaced?
With new characters and a better plot? Tell me dearest,
what would wanted me to be. Everyday was something different,
but you held your stands so high, daring me to leap,
testing me to succeed. And i did. I know why you make that face,
and every freckle on your body. Mostly importanly though, your biggest fears.
but i cant decode you this time , the pieces are all wrong.
Because you wont allow me to be in them.
No more we, no more you and no more me.
Walking alone now, i hurt for you. And i'm not alone.
Mindless souls walk beside me, some old, some new.
Who are they waiting for? i know but only that i am missing you
