A Permanent Mistake

Woken from slumber
Your absence cold
I went to find you
My heart’s half fold

And in the beam I
Saw you still
And after touch I
Felt the chill

I don’t know why you did, what you did…
Such a permanent mistake
I can’t fix it.
It is.
It’s done.

You left me, like this?
Without a word
A nightmare image
That broke my world

So helpless am I
Hopeless, confused
Fearful and empty
Anger-infused

I don’t know why you did, what you did…
Such a permanent mistake
I can’t fix it.
It is.
It’s done.

And now I have questions
Answers won’t meet
The rest of our future
A stark, blank sheet

You took me with you
Although I stay
Hardest thing now is
To face each day

I don’t know why you did, what you did…
Such a permanent mistake
I can’t fix it.
I never could.
