poetry

I used to wake up
and see the leaves
Sunlight streaming in
when you used to believe
Days gone by
I remember with a smile
soaked in bittersweetness
but regret isn't my style
We longed for the summer
and now it's here
We won't share it together
that, you've made pretty clear
My heart sits and waits
maybe we'll relive those nights
of stories and acoustic melodies
and skin on skin delights
I wake up alone now
to a blank white ceiling
loneliness sets in
an all too familiar feeling
I'm jaded once again
it was you who took all that away
Now all that's left is emptiness
and my heart in disarray
