And Now It's Gone

Our love bloomed in an overnight storm.
Months of good times, 
days of happiness filled our hearts as we intertwined.
We talked everyday and our relationship grew.
We had it all and it was all we knew. 
Glances at first, staring contests next. 
I could look at you and see the future.
Us together, 
was the part I loved best. 
I could dream of your face so perfect and calm.
The feel of your soft palm.
Your eyes so warm and inviting.
I never would have imagined us fighting.

Spit was flying, words of curse louder than thunder. 
You never hit me, but your words were enough to send me spinning and make me dizzy. 
Sometimes we ignored each other just to keep in check.
Or else all hell would break out and our demons let loose.

Sometimes we could sit and stare at each other for hours on end, 
trying to find the piece of the puzzle that wasn’t bent. 
Searching and searching, 
without escape.
We wished that we could simply just break. 
Our souls slowly slipping away.
Our spirits shot down. 
Your love was really my crown.

I remember us laughing and having lots of fun, 
But not anymore, for we are really just done.
I now cry with the pain of your absence.
Our love was all I understood and no matter what I do, 
I can’t stop thinking of you. 
But what is it I can really say?
I miss you more and more everyday.

They say pain heals with time.
For me it’s pain engulfs the brain. 
You were my love, my wings of life.
Now your the past ruins of a perfect time.
Everything we had, which was it all. 
Days full of desired memories. 
Hours of destined perfection.
Minutes of love, without rejection. 
And now it’s gone.
