You left without saying goodbye Poem, by notapoet, at My poetic side

You left without saying goodbye

You slipped so silently by

I had not even noticed

Until it was too late

I reached for you

Desperately through my darkness

Only to find an empty place

Where you used to be

I looked for you crazed

And with urgency

Like a moth who seeks the light

But was only greeted

With frustration and blindness

I called to you

But my words were returned to me

Unheard as if never spoken

I ran to you

But I stumbled and fell,

Crashing with realization of my betrayal

Please come back to me

Forgive me for forgetting who you were,

And all that you had given me

I took you for granted

And let another’s lies

Blind my judgment

Please return to the place in me

That aches with loneliness and confusion

I have awakened from my torturous nightmare

And long for your reassuring touch

Give me your strength

So I my rise to my feet

And stand once again with purpose

Fill me again with your light

And guide me towards the path of my salvation

And never again shall I forsake you

Please return to me soon

For I am nothing without

a ” SOUL”.
