Empty

My bed is now empty,
It's where you once laid.
It held us,
When our love was being made.

I'm laying here,
Wide awake.
I wish your arms were around me,
Your mistake.

Your ghostly figure,
Frozen in time.
I remember the days,
When you were mine.

In slow motion,
I replay it in my head.
How each night you'd come to my house,
And lay in my bed.

Your human form has faded,
Drifting far away from here.

Your presence has stayed,
It will forever be near.

I close my eyes,
And I can see you there.
Your smile is just a glowing,
Your eyes tell me they care.

My room is now empty,
It's where you once stood.
It's where you laughed with me,
I know you'd come back if you could.

I sit here in the dark,
Saddened by what has been done.
All you had to do was come to me,
And tell me I was not the one.

You chose and decided,
Without one thought.
You deal with the emptiness,
You're lost.

My heart is now bare,
Weaker with each beat.
A sorrowful soul,
Has a friend to defeat.

I can't control,
What I don't know.
The emptiness consumes,
Every part of my soul.

I've moved on,
Better things are here.
I do miss you,
And sometimes wish you were near.

I am stronger,
Then ever before.
But of course,
My heart you tore.

The driveway,
Where you once walked.
Stands empty,
The winds talk.

I'll no longer look out,
And see you coming up the way.
When you chose loneliness,
You threw it all away.

I will not ever,
Feel your arms around me.
I should've known this would end,
And I'd have to set you free.

I look around,
And in every area I can see.
My whole life,
Is empty...
