Azrael's Whispers

Bye...

There was no warning...
No heads up.
I just woke up this morning...
And found...
You'd runn off.

I checked your room,
But you weren't there.
In the garage,
But you'd taken your car.

I walked in,
Got to the mini bar.
Took a beer,
And stared at the pictures of us.

So this is how you leave me.
This is all we were.
After weeks of friendship,
You just...
Up and left.

I won't hold you back.
Not begrudge you space.
I know you're busy...
You have a lot on your plate.

But I would have like to be warned
You know.
Prepare myself for the vacuum
You'll leave.

But I guess we can't have all we want right?
Some stay, and some leave.
I just hope that...wherever you are...
You're happy.

But I've learned from this.
And let me tell you what the lesson is.
People are untrustworthy...
"I'm always here,"
You said.
So why do I check your room and see...
An empty bed?

Don't worry.
I'll move on.
You were close to me.
But not anymore.

I'll make more friends.
But I'll remember this day.
So when they too leave,
I won't be unawares.

Don't come back.
Don't rip me open again.
I'm thinking to myself,
"Maybe...
It's for the best."

If I did you wrong,
I am sorry.
If I hear any fault,
Forgive me.

I bear you no ill.
And for leaving...
I forgive you still.
But please,
Stay away.

I miss you already...
But I think with time,
I'll start healing.

So please,
My dear friend,
Don't come back...
To me.
