I died a thousand deaths when you left me alone
We never got the chance to say our final goodbyes
I feel so empty inside and out, so incomplete
It’s the worst feeling in the world
I think back on the past, our lives were so simple then
We weren’t just confused college students thinking we were in love
We were in love, as I steadily looked on my ring finger at the marvelous gem
that you gave me
You proposed two years later, and I was the happiest maiden in all the land
But nothing is ever certain in this world, no matter how much we’d like it to be
Those outside our borders would wish to disturb that peaceful balance
For their own greed, their own way of life, no matter whom it may affect
Yet sometimes the tides roll outward rather than inward, as we can be our own enemies sometimes as well
We had so much time left together, and now all that is gone
Death can come quickly and it can come slowly, there is no set standard
I’m left with happy memories, but not fond memories of what took you away from me forever
Perhaps I can love again, and perhaps I’ll live the rest of my days alone
It’s a sad state of affairs that binds the remains of our love in eternal harmony
Precious worlds that we left unspoken
Scarce words that we wish had escaped our lips but no longer can
Dry like the bottom of the lake’s bedrock, chapped and arid
Now I want more than ever to hear them, but know that I cannot
