Walk away

by Sweet Salvation   May 6, 2006


Every time he is near me,
even without having to see him.
I smell the sweet aroma
he carries around with him.
When he walks in,
I am lost in his stormy eyes.

He walks over to me,
and kisses me with
his lips usually full of passion,
but this time it was different.
It seemed more to say I'm sorry.

Looking at him stand there,
I see the stiffness in his body.
When he starts talking,
I don't hear a word he says,
but I notice the sadness in his voice.
I know what he is saying,
without even hearing it.

He hugs me, then turns,
and he slowly walks away.
Even after he is gone,
I stay in the same spot,
stunned, not able to move.
The scent of him lingers in the air.

I don't know what to do.
He was my world.
I based everything i did around him,
and now he is gone.
He didn't even ask if I was okay.
He just turned and walked away.
I don't know why it hurts so bad.
It's not like he was the first,
to turn their back on me.

I walk over to the mirror,
looking at a girl I don't recognize.
The same eyes that were once
full of love and joy,
from the man she loved,
are now full of sadness and hurt,
made by that same man.
