How Do I Begin Again?

by Shannon   Nov 2, 2006


My phone does not ring,
My doorbell does not chime,
You did not walk to me,
You just walked away.

Who knew that one word said it all.
I can still hear the word goodbye,
I can still see you walk away,
I can still see the look in your eyes.

You did not look back,
You have no regret,
You destroyed my faith in love,
Only after you restored it.

You took my heart,
Which I gave freely,
Now all that remains,
Is what used to be.

What used to be is not enough,
I just want one more day,
One more day to touch you,
One more day to love you,
One more day to hear you say I love you too.

What did I do?
Where have you gone?
Where did we go?
Why is this happening?

All questions left unanswered.
I cannot beg,
I cannot plead,
I can no longer cry.
All because you said goodbye.

Severed all ties,
Like a phone you disconnected me from your life,
Washed me away like a sin,
Said your 5 Hail Mary's as you start your life again.

I am left empty handed,
I am left broken hearted,
I am left alone,
How do I begin again?
