Yearn

I have cried many a tear for you, my love
in the hopes that you would return.
I have found many a soul that were not you, my love
after the inevitable crash and burn.

I have been sat by the window all night, my love
as all I did before was pack.
I have thrown out all your things, my love
and they’re not coming back.

I have walked many a night alone, my love
praying you were just around the corner.
I have cooked and thrown many an extra meal, my love
just to feel my face get a little sterner.

I have cuddled that damn pillow again, my love
cringing at it not being you.
I have wanted to dance in the rain, my love
but, you were unable to see past you.

I am saddened by our lack of procreation, my love
and perhaps it’s for the best.
I have broken your trust, my love
and god only knows all the rest.

I have spilt the wine from our goblet, my love
and it splatters on the floor.
I have spoken your name for the last time, my love
It’s time to see you out the door.

I have hurt myself enough, my love.
The scars are too deep.
I have had just about enough, my love.
It’s time to go to sleep.
