You Left

You left again After just coming back When you leave A piece of my heart goes with you But I cherish the pain Of you leaving I reminds me, Reminds me that when you come back, I’ll be whole again. It reminds me that I am still alive Still able to feel Even with you gone ~~~ You coming home turns scarce The amount of time you are here, It’s almost nothing I wonder ‘Will there be a time when you come no longer?’ I know it’s stupid to hope this be untrue For It is inevitable Soon enough I will break Break from the pain The pain of being left behind The pain of not seeing you again The pain of not knowing Not knowing if you will come back ~~~ When you come I am at my happiest A warm bundle of joy But everything must end Right? And so it does Like every other time you leave I feel… Empty Void of emotion Simply, blank When the pain hits I don’t show I put on a smile And walk around as if I’m okay As if it doesn’t hurt But it does And I deal with it For others shouldn’t have to be in my sour mood They shouldn’t have to know my pain They should be happy with life While I try to live on Try to remember that I have to eat That I have to sleep That I have to live So I try, And try, And it works For a few weeks I am happy again Then you come back And the cycle restarts…
