When did it happen?
When did you leave me?
Was it a word or a look?
Another man or my pride?

When was the moment you went away?
Emotional stability fails in the face of loneliness
How can I compete with a shadow, a dream?
How long has it been since you were mine?

I wonder each day, is there more I could have done?
A word, a song, an action that could have stimmed the tide?
Changed the outcome
Stopped the inevitable

Changes come, and changes go
Though you became another person
I remained the same
I gave everything that was mine to give
You still were gone

Not in an action or an instant
Yet , you left nonetheless
I could feel it, see it in your words
Your disrespect is evident in your deeds

You left me without a cause or an inkling
Just checked out, leaving no forwarding address
One day, I logged on, looking for a love
A word of solace

I was there
You were gone
The space was empty
I was alone.
