You used to be
An integral part of me –
You filled my veins
With fire,
You fanned my heart’s
Desire,
You took me up
So high –
You ruled me.

And then –
gone.

I lost you along the way
Or maybe you left,
I stayed.
Regardless how it
Came to be
I searched for you
Each day
And when I’m close
You just
Slip away.
