Since He Left

Tears fall into the night, fading away like whispers in silence

I can't begin to know what you are feeling, or where you are

You have disappeared from my life, gone on a journey alone

No sleep comes until many tears are shed, sobs comforting me

I wonder why you left, so suddenly with no word or notice

I awoke one day to find you gone, the side of your bed cold

Your closet now stands empty, your belongings gone away

It feels so cold and dank, like an empty crypt with bare walls

Can I live without you, in a population who knows me so well

I hear whispers when I walk the street, see the solemn looks

My mind won't let me forget you, or our time as lovers

A now lonely know-it-all, and the boy who lived again
