I saw you leave.
Your eyes fixed on me
But unseeing, glazed.
You left without a word,
Without a backward glance;
At the misery you left behind,
At the sickness you had inflicted on my very soul,
The desolate isolation that encompassed me
When I saw you go — forever.
I can travel on this path no more.
I just stand where you left me last.
I’ve lost my laughter,
I’ve lost all hope,
My life, my destiny too!
You have snatched them away,
Your gifts as they were.
I have nothing now.
My hands are empty.
The only thing there is,
Is a silence – deep and engulfing,
Which gnaws at my heart.
Yet ………. yet………
Why does my soul cry out for you?
Why do I search for your nonexistent footprint?
Why does my whole being crave for you?
Why do I wait through life and death to meet you?
Why … .oh why do I believe
You’ll come back to me at last?!
When I know, I’ve seen you go
Never to return!
Yes, never to return.
