Love Poem: Where Did You Go

Where Did You Go

This hurt keeps me awake
The pills can't dissipate this emotion
This alcohol can't black me out 
If only I could give a magic potion

I see your face everywhere I look
Like an angel beguiling a glimmer of hope

Will I ever clasp your hand again?
Every sign I see tells me, "nope!"

I hide my melancholy-ness
In everything I do
I write these dirges from my soul
Dedicated to you

I dream no more
Your silhouette haunts me deep
The happiness I felt with you
I couldn't keep

Nothing more than bits and pieces
Like an old memory
I try to reassemble it
But has nothing more for me

your kiss, your touch, 
Each have burned a reserved spot
On my body
Never to be washed off

Much like your face, your smell, your gaze 
Is eternally etched in each dream
I can't sleep
You haunt me while I scream

You'll never know how far you had me fall
How perfect you were
How you made me feel so tall
That time I was sure

That you were the one
I shall remain 
Left with what could've been
Sleepless slumber nights 
Never to dream again

Afraid to relax my eyes

For when your image appears
My heart will bleed
Attacked with a thousand spears
Deader than dead; indeed

I pray to make you stay
Right here with me
Or I pray your face fades away
And finally sets me free

Not knowing is the worst 
The damage is still raw
Like a beauty in a hurse
That nobody saw
