Make it All go Away - Ode to Patrick

Folder: 
Patrick

He left me.

On a hot-cold day in August,

he left within a moment

and my eyes brimmed full with tears

as their gazes were all upon me

to see how much I cared,

I gave them a fake smile, reassuring them I was fine

as tears dripped off me onto the tile floor

Turning away, I walked down the stairs,

taking a time warp into the past it seemed

And I cried.

I cried until tears becacme familiar

and became natural for me.

All I could think was " I'm losing my mind!"

and all I could feel was the pain in my heart

For this was the end of the passion.

Of course he'd still exsist as mine

but farther from me and less aware of my being

Selfishly,I was thinking.

He was going to save the world

and I was left behind feeling abandoned.

I forced myself to realize

that it was not forever

he would come back for me one day

and I'd be ready.

but until then,I am here alone

while he's off living his life.

Months from now,he'll call me

and I'm supposed to be okay

but secretly I'm weeping.

I can't handle this.It hurts too much.

And in the midst of it all,

my soul fears near collapse.

I'm just desperate to find a way

to make all the pain go away.
