Unrequited Longing

In your absence, my days are stretched thin, A silent echo where your voice had been. I ask myself in the quietest tone, Was it simple for you, moving on alone? I bore my soul, in hope to intertwine, Yet stood alone, in the fading sunshine. I must inquire, though it may seem stark, Was it effortless to leave me in the dark? Hours became days, waiting by the phone, In this vast world, feeling so alone. Was it just a breeze, on your heart to spare, Leaving me adrift in cold, empty air? You were my universe, in vast expanse, Leaving me was it just by chance? I wonder now, amidst my silent plea, Was it as easy as it seems to be? The laughter shared, now a distant dream, My heart echoes with a silent scream. While you bask in joy, under a different sky, Did our memories simply pass you by? I blame my heart, for it chose to cling, To a love that was a fleeting thing. I question still, through the pain and lack, Was it effortless to never look back? Nights stretch endless, without your silhouette, Each dawn reminds me of the day we met. Was it tranquil for you, to just erase, The love we shared, to leave without a trace?
