lost

she says she loves you
she tells you she cares
she runs with the blink of an eye
seeking the right.

Blind is she
the path was set
such a simple quest
soiled by the past.

vengeful, anger
sorrow, misunderstanding
you've poured your heart on the table
and have been left to dry.

with no regrets she is gone
gone with a passing breath
gone forever
to where I don't want to know.

Her smile, her touch
it all lingers in your mind
with no way to escape
the pain is now too deep.

life was grand
at it's best for a time
what more?
i dared not ask

but why ask?
she pushes you out the door
no goodbye
no reasoning

it was never right
no sense was made
it is over
and a great thing has come to an end.
