Long Gone
I didn't realize that you were slipping out of my reach until you had drifted to far away. Like a seashell
washed upon the sandy shore, only to be swept away by the ocean's salty waves. If only I had payed
closer attention to you, to the bond we shared, so long ago. How we used to have long conversations,
laugh at weird things, have random, stupid fights that we would forget about two minutes later. How
broken, torn apart I feel, cannot even be described. I am shattered and spread throughout the Earth,
like pieces of a puzzle, unable to be found. I am floating on a invisible cloud of sadness that I
cannot show. You have asked me if I am ok, and I say I am fine, not having the courage to tell you
the truth. The truth may be the best thing, but I am too weak to tell. When I approached you and
asked why, you left me, deserted in a barren wasterland, to fight on my own. But as before, I can't tell
you what has happened. I move quietly, not divulging anything to anyone. I have become as quiet as
a mouse, only speaking when necessary. And now, I don't know what to say to you. Whether to
believe your apologies or to forget about them. You have destroyed what we used to have and all that
remains are pieces that are broken. Shattered. Gone.
