Thrown away

my adventure over christmas

One last draw on a midnight cigarette

before I go inside to sleep.

My mind flirts with the edge of madness

wondering what could have been.

You held me by the heart for years

anxiously awaiting my departure.

I threw away my world for you

just to be in your embrace.

And in return I get nothing more

then a glance across the room.

For this I know I made a mistake,

and now 1000 miles away from home.

Only to awake in a strangers house

thinking you would be my world.

And so I leave

slamming your door

a gentle goodbye

for the time I wasted.
