Fade

in poetry •  8 years ago 

How can you say that you've not hurt my soul?
If only I could have seen through my apathy.
What I did was nothing compared to a betrayal so foul.
I gave you everything, my heart, my love.. I gave you all.
Even so you leave like leaves fall during fall.
I sit empty, lonely, scouring my soul for empathy.
Bitterness is the taste of my tears, filled with alcohol and pain.
You swore that you would stay forever, a loving memory.
I ask myself and I curse the answer, what could I even gain?
I'll just sit back, observe the world through misty eyes and fade.
