No Longer There

I speak but you are no longer there,
I wonder if you truly know my despair?
I walk home at night to no smiling face,
and find I am again not in your grace.
I check the phone from time to time,
and wonder if you will forgive my passionate crime.
I heard the phone yesterday as fast as I could,
hoping you would call or wondered if you even would.
I watch the movies we watched before,
and with every pass of the clicker I miss your company even more.
Your soft spoken and the way you made me feel,
is there anything I can do to make our love heal.
I called you out of desperation last night,
and a woman answered and said you were out of sight.
I through the phone across the room into the hall,
feeling like that phone did as we both took the fall.
I know there is no one to really blame except for me,
for you told me again and again if I did this you would set me free.
I thought our love was really stronger then that,
it was but I that didn't realize the love you gave to me and that's a Fact.
Now I am alone and to wallow in the pity and wait,
hoping you would shine light on this dreadful fate.
I locked the door, it's 3 am and you are nowhere I can see,
so tonight my love if my life is not with you I will set my soul free.
