In the midst of your absence,

I search for a sound.

Evidence of the love of your presence.

The love I lost and never found.

Your silence is a void deep within.

One that I don’t understand.

A reminder of the confusion I am in.

With no foundation on which to stand.

Your eyes once looked at me.

I seemed to meet all your needs,

I realized I was trapped, never free.

But now I am thrown out like the weeds.

I yearn for warmth and was never sure.

But I chose to believe that was love.

You used me for all your pleasures.

Before me, you put your needs above.

In this abandoned heart I am lost.

Now I can’t trust anyone.

A soul still seeking love at all costs.

Love I never won.

The ache within me echoes.

Words that remain unspoken.

But I guess that’s how my life goes.

I have a heart that’s broken.
