I'VE BEEN GONE

I’ve been gone from your touch
Yet you noticed not the coldness there
But the warmth of another’s breath
As she sighed in her despair.

I’ve been gone from your sight
You noticed not my missing form
But the ghost of another’s presence
As, from innocence, she was torn.

I’ve been gone from your ears
Yet you noticed not my silenced voice
But the arpeggios of another’s concern
As she screamed of never having a choice.

I’ve been gone from your heart
Yet you noticed not that hole within
But camouflaged it with another’s misery
As you both ached and cried again.

My poetry has disappeared from your pleasure
Yet you noticed not that my words were gone
But instead rejoiced in daily life frolics
As my heart and energy has ceased to linger on.
