Why did you leave me? Why did you go? Why did you forsake me leaving me heartbroken in the cold?

In the depths of my despair, I cry out to you, with a heart bare, Why did you leave me, without a trace?

Leaving me stranded in this desolate place.

The warmth of your embrace, now a distant dream, the laughter we shared, a fleeting gleam.

The promises we made, now shattered, torn,
leaving me wounded, all hope gone.

Why did you go, without even a goodbye? Leaving me with questions, that make me cry.

Was one love not enough, to make you stay? Or did you simply vanish, just fade away?

In the cold embrace of silent solitude, I search for answers, that somehow elude. Why did you go? Forsake me, in my time of need?

Leaving me to bleed, from a wound no one can see.

The echoes of your laughter, still linger in the air, as I struggle to breathe, in my suffocating despair.

The memories we made, now haunt my every waking hour, as I grapple with the pain, of your leaving, taking my power.

Why did you leave me, with a aching heart?
Leaving me to die, just fall apart, in the depths of my lonely sorrow,

I yearn for your presence, for cupid's love and sure arrow.

But my pleas fall on deaf ears, as you disappear, into your disappearing years. Leaving me with nothing but heartache and regret, for a love that I will never, ever forget.

So I ask again, with a tremor in my voice. Why did you steal my heart? It wasn't my choice. Why did you go, without a word or care? Leaving me stranded, in this world devoid of love.

So bare!

And as I drown in rivers of tears streaming down my wretched face, I know that I will never find love or even grace.

In a world without you, my lover who fled in the disparaging night,


Where my heart will forever reside in loneliness
without you by my forsaken

side...
