Gone

'Twas the end of my life

when I saw your face 

Youthful, unblemished yet eyes of great age

Leaning into your strong embrace, 

I was finally safe

You took my darkness, my pain, my woe

With you, I could be who I am

And let the memories of my past go

For once, I felt happy again

'Twas the end of my life when you turned and fled

from my heart, from my head

I think of you lying in bed,

my bleeding wrists, raw and red 

Now I am alone again

Cold, frightened, alone

Just as I was, those years ago

Even when you say "Hello", from my heart you will go

tucked away into my dreams,

hidden with the monsters writhing under the stairs

my time with you, my love, are now my nightmares 

Because you're gone.

You made a very beautiful poem..and very meaningful. I felt pain in my veins, and sadness.
I saved it in my favorites...
I wish I could give 200/100, but I can't.
So, 100/100.
