The Day My Lover Left-Contest

It's a cold and hollow feeling
     When reality arrives
     A lost foreboding emptiness
     That gnaws at your insides

     A last goodbye can't really mean
     That all is at an end
     What words to change this torment
     Even if, but to pretend

     A word in anger said in haste
     Has all but robbed of me
     The treasure of fulfillment
     For all this love could be

     What value gained from hurt and pain
     In choices to impose
     If but my heart could change this fate
     With the music of this prose.
