You Left Me Broken- a poem

You Left Me Broken

K.N. Lee

I want to call you

But you won't be there

I want to kiss you

Hug you

Smell your hair

I wish I had the chance

To sing the bitter blues away

Open my eyes from beside you

And welcome yet another day

I want to see you

Touch you

Taste your lips again

These pictures 

The ones of you and I

Smiling

Crumple on the floor

Broken promises

And faded memories

I wish we could make more

You chose to leave

Like a coward

A thief

Stealing my feelings

And leaving me bleeding

Tears of regret

And words of hate

Drip like acid

Burning holes in my soul

And leaving me bare 

And cold

A love lost

A life stolen

You chose to leave

You left me broken
