Broken and Alone
broken and alone
that’s how you left me
standing in the road that day
watching you leave
everything
behind
how could you
have been so cold
once we had it all
even when we had
nothing
vows we made
so many years ago
did they mean so little
when did your heart
become so
empty
looking around
I see ghosts in every room
yet the cracked looking glass
bears only a single graying
reflection
unrelenting rain
outside my window
and inside my soul
echo your name in lines
streaking down my
face
