Gone

Leaving, he said, and slowly turned away

His shoulders in the doorway filled the frame

The door clicked shut as her heart hit the floor

Was it real? Could he not love her anymore?

His tears splashed the pavement

Keeping the solemn time with his feet

She is better off without me he sighs

His shoulders droop and his soul sinks

Sad is true and gone is gone

By the time they realize their mistake

Time will have just moved on

Sacrificed one love to find a better life

How cruel it must be to believe such a lie

In trying so hard to do the best for the other

They lost bestfriends and much more than lovers

How much better it would have been

To have faced it hand in hand

Now instead of a one whole love

They have half a woman

And half a man
