When he's gone
January 15, 2011
He held me tight
when nothing was sufficient
he kept me safe
in the dusky night
He used to give me hugs
and kiss me ever so gently
but now i don't feel
so snug
The scent of him
is still on his jacket
the one he gave me with
the coffee trim
Our memories blaze
and now he's gone
trying to forget
our awful days
Anger in his voice
haunted me when we fought
but now i don't even
have a choice
I say my good-byes
knowing he's gone for good
trying to write off
every lie
