Gone

I miss the days
When all we did was play
And wish you could stay

Bad days were no match for you
It didn’t matter if I was sad or had the flu
You were always there to hold me together like glue

We were inevitably a pair
We couldn’t stand to share
All we did was show that we care

But that wasn’t enough for fate
For we were lost and abate
I’ll never forget that portentous date

We heard the church bells chime
I felt like a mime lost in time
I had committed the ultimate crime

After that day it would never be the same
As you had gained everlasting fame
That day my heart lost its flame

As I filled my glass at the sink
I couldn’t help but to think
It was obvious you had too much to drink

You heard my pleas
But all you had to say was please
To get the keys

I didn’t think of the threat
Now I will forever regret
As my pillow lies there wet

Just as breaking dawn
You were a beautiful swan
Now you’re forever gone

I wrote this shortly after I let my girlfriend drive home inebriated.
