Poetry: Why Did You Blank Me?

The following is a poem for the Daily Prompt Challenge: Blank.  For those that read my blog regularly, particularly my previous post When Constructive Criticism = Lost Friendship, A Sad but True Story don’t worry.  I’m not as sad as this poem suggests, but sad poetry seems to flow from me easier than anything happy, maybe because of my depression, or who knows why!  😮

We clicked just like that,

Right from the start.

We’d be friends for a lifetime,

I felt it in my heart.

We shared so much,

Spent hours at a time.

You trusted me with your secrets,

And I you with mine.

Our bond was so strong,

I was sure it would last.

We felt we’d known each other,

From a life past.

But I was an idiot,

Too blinded to see.

You just wanted to take,

To use me.

I gave you my time,

My heart and my soul.

I wanted to help,

But that wasn’t my role.

You took what you wanted,

And then you left,

Never looking back,

My soul bereft.

I disappeared from your life,

Like I was never there.

I try to speak,

But you never care.

My words are nothing,

You never reply.

You couldn’t even,

Say goodbye.

You took so much,

More than you know.

It wasn’t just my time,

That I let go.

I gave a part of myself,

A part you won’t return.

Because of that bridge,

You watch burn.

So here I am empty,

And you will never see

The space in my heart

Where you used to be.

I was nothing to you,

No more than a tool,

Now you’ve used me,

I die a fool.
