I Allowed You

Because for once i allowed you in,
to take a breathe, deeper then skin,
you cut away deep at my soul, 
you took away my only hope,
my belief in a life with you by my side,
a wonder in words you so often denied,
everything you whispered all the secrets 
you stowed, left me here with nothing but this
paper and stone,
the stone in my hand from the day that we met
on that beach in Alabama, filled with regret,
and this paper with the words, 
don't ever forget.
so why do i keep these memorize so cold,
because it keeps me surrounded by the happy times,
the times we could say we loved each so, 
but now its all been thrown miles out the closest window, 
you took away my breathe, got under my skin, 
you sealed yourself into my every grin,
with you leaving this paper and stone,
you finally told me, 
you let us all go.
