When You Left Me

{ Jann Arden Richards }



When you left me I was inside

Of my head for a year

All the memories that were broken

Deeply buried there

Was my heart lost in the chaos 

Never to be found



When you left me I got older

I had all but died

I was weak and out of breath

I could not read at night

How you kissed me burned into my skin

Every moment worlds were crumbling in



I can still hear every whisper

I can taste your lips

Just your heartbeat and I quiver

I can picture this

All the colours bleeding from the page

Just like water pouring down my face



When you left me nothing mattered

All my life undone

Only stillness only quiet

Not one ray of sun



When you left me 

When you left me

When you left me

When you left me

When you left me

When you left me
