Already Gone

I thought I couldn't live without you,
but perhaps I believed I would never have to.

You pushed me to the side
after you clearly had enough of me,
and now it feels like I've been lonely since the start.

No incoming calls,
no voice-mails to remind me of your voice,
no prints in my heart
to prove that you once belonged there.

Just a beating of pain
that strums my heart,
wondering why I still care at all
when you are already gone.
