I never left you

loves loss

Do you remember the day when you begged me to stay?

Not that I was ever going to leave you.

You were so insecure,

I never left you.

 

I remember the very first time I layed eyes on you,

Your hair was long, and you tried to hide behind it,

But your laugh was sweet,

Your smile lit up the room,

I never left you.

 

We talked,

Then talked some more,all through so many nights,

And our love blossomed,

Rose up higher than angels,

And I never left you.

 

I remember when we played the violins together,

I was lost in your strings,

I wonder were you ever lost in mine?

From a B-flat to a C-sharp,

I was never far from you,

And I never left you.

 

But now as I drink my coffee,

Stare at these bare walls,

I wonder where you are tonight,

In who’s embrace,

And do you perhaps ask him, with those same words,

“Please don’t ever leave me”

 

I never left you.

quite an emotionally charged and painful story, all I could feel by the end was the inertia in staring at walls, and the reflections running through your mind, these lines are so heavy it's difficult to find your breath.

This is lovely. Lyrical and poignant indeed. I love the last stanza especially and I also like the line 'From B-flat to C-sharp, I was never far from you' - I think it's a clever way of making that point.
You can feel a soft heart-ache woven into the lines of this poem.
This is nicely put together also.
Lovely work.

The powerful, emotionally charged use of repetition is perfect in this poem.

I never left you.

How throughout it, the words remain the same, and yet they seem to only get stronger and stronger in their meaning, until the final line, as if this poem were an orchestra of emotion, building up to a crescendo. Very powerful. Thank you much for sharing this.

There are poems and then there is poetry, this is poetry, nobody leaves... when you love someone, you want them in in your lives always, no one really ever leaves someone they truly love just because it gets a little messy. They stomp and threaten and even go hide for a bit, till the hurt feeling mend but they don't leave.
Not when the choice belongs to them. I'll never leave him, he always knows where I am, and if he was listening, someplace close by, he would know there are no other arms but his, no other shoulder to rest curls on, my life is ok, new things going on, the bright side is that I met some really great people, but there is a space in my life where he belongs and it's empty, and I miss the hell outta him, so the sadness overwhelms sometimes, I believe in him, he needs some room right now...he knows I'm waiting, he knows he's welcome always, and he damn well knows where I am lol...he's magical dont'cha know?
