Disclaimer: I own nothing but the poem. My poem!!!

Black cloak swirls like the shadows of night


You live in the darkness, hide from the light.


Quick caress, gone before the sun can rise,


Watching you leave, hot tears in my eyes.

Taste the salty bitterness of your tears


Shaking with my cries, surrounded by fear


Knowing in my heart you will never return,


I sob outside, while my anger burns.


It's nothing but foolish pride that bids you leave,


In you I had trusted, in you I still believe.


As much as I long to hold on to you,


I know you believed leaving was right to do.

Feel you fade to nothing more than a memory,


Sorrowful you never knew what you meant to me.


Your pride forced you to leave, mine made me lie,


The only thing left to say is: goodbye.

Review if you feel like it.
