Left Behind

I thought you were something good

Something exciting and new

But now I'm left behind

Curled up, crying, and confused

The thought of you with another

Sits in the pit of my stomach

Not because you are not allowed to love another, 

But because you do not love me

My chest, it feels so hollow 

My legs are going numb

And my arms tingle

The ache to reach out to you

The longing to see your face 

And to feel you in my grasp

Is not as deep as the realities

We cannot possibly be, you and me

Alike as we may be
