You left me stranded in a sea of need,
As winter winds whipped through my shattered heart,
Abandoned, left alone to slowly bleed,
I felt your love dissolve and fall apart.
Our silence, a chasm that destroyed,
The bond that once we shared so deep and true,
You were silent, aloof, and devoid,
Of all the care and passion that you knew.
I stumbled, lost and broken, in your wake,
Not knowing if to leave or stay and try,
But love can never be a road half-taken,
It’s all or nothing, truth or else a lie.
You say you love me deeply, but I know,
That love’s a flame that withers in the cold,
Neglect and absence, they’re the winds that blow,
And leave our love a ruin, grim and old. A mountain of love, now slowly crumbles,
As silence echoes through our broken hearts,
My soul, now lost and weak, no longer humbles,
For love, once bright, now crumbles and departs.
My heart, though fragile, beats with strength and pride,
It knows that love must soar or else be free,
So answer me, my love, before we slide,
Into the darkness of uncertainty.
Use all your words, your actions, and your deeds,
To prove that love can still be strong and true,
Or set me free, to follow where my heart leads,
And start anew, without this pain and rue.
If you detach, I’ll cherish your friendship,
Though it will cut deep like a sharpened knife,
But I am strong, and I can handle hardship,
If it will bring an end to all this strife. For we cannot go on in this half-life,
Where we get along for days and then stay still,
Our silence cuts deep like a sharpened knife,
And kills the love that we once used to feel.
Let us choose the path that’s best for us, And if that means we must say our goodbyes,
I’ll mourn the love that we once shared, but thus,
I’ll find the strength to spread my wings and fly.
Our love, a puzzle with missing parts,
A mystery that we can no longer solve,
But I won’t settle for half-hearted starts,
I need a love that’s solid, one that won’t dissolve.
So if you truly love me, show me now,
Prove that our love is worth the fight,
Or let me go, and we’ll both take a bow,
As we embrace a new dawn, a brand new light.
In the end, love is a journey of the soul,
With peaks and valleys that we must all traverse,
But we must be brave enough to take control,
And choose a path that’s worthy of our worth.
