When You Left Poem by Emzee d'Va

When you left
I cried every night
My eyes were dry
Still my heart wasn't right

When you left
I did what I could
Hoping against hope
My decisions were good

When you left
I gained some in age
Things just went on
And life turned a page

When you left
I just tried to go on
Knowing what didn't kill me
Would only make me strong

When you left
A whole lot got changed
My life became different
My world rearranged

When you left
I had to learn to be alone
To stand on my two feet
To make my own bed

So that's where I am now
At this stage of my life
Still bold and alone
Still coping with strife

And oh how I wish that
Things could be different
That I could go back
To a time in the past
To a time before
You weren't here...
