A Heart Left Behind

I loved you with a heart so true,

For years, I thought our love would do,

But somewhere in the space between,

I’ve lost the love I thought I’d seen.

We built a life, just you and me,

But now I stand here, lost, unseen.

You’ve gone to someone else to find,

The love and joy you left behind.

The bed we shared, now far apart,

A distant place for my weary heart.

Excuses made, they stack so high,

And still, I can’t help but ask, "Why?"

I gave you all, my heart, my time,

But in your eyes, I’ve lost my shine.

I thought that love could set us free,

But now it’s left a hole in me.

You’ve found a world I can’t ignore,

A life you want, yet leave me more

Alone, with just the weight I bear,

A love that’s gone, a silent prayer.

I sacrificed so much to stay,

Gave up my dreams to light your way.

But now my heart is filled with fear—

I’m lost without you, yet I’m here.

I regret the choice I made for us,

The poly world that caused this fuss.

For now, I see what’s torn apart,

A love once full, now bruised and scarred.

I yearn for something real, you see,

A love that’s whole, not torn by plea.

But trust is gone, and so am I,

A broken soul who learned to cry.

I stand here lost, but still I hope,

That someday I’ll learn how to cope.

But for now, this heart beats slow,

In the quiet pain I’ll never show.
