Warped

Was it so simple for you to let me go?
Did it not send a throbbing pain down your spine
Just as it did mine?
Send you and your heart hurtling backwards
With a giant push and blow to your core
Did it not puncture your previous battle wounds
And leave you alone in your ruptured hole?
Left shaking with indescribable fear
Of a life time of damage that may never heal
Why did you let it slip away from your grasp?
This intensity that may have lasted all eternity
You dropped it like a five cent coin
Somehow, not important enough to retrieve
Lost grip on all that made it unique
And with it you mislaid all that could have been
With a blackened heart left to fend for itself
I can see the weeping shadow fall into line
The significance of your departure from my life
Is of such incredible proportions to me now
And the way in which you left this scene
Is an indication of what may or may not have occurred
Right here in the presence of only you and I
