Left

You left me

And all I could do

Was watch you leave

I stood at the door

And watched you go

Wishing you well

While silently begging you to stay

And while you were gone

I kept the home fires burning

Day after day

Night after night

I waited for you to return

And I waited...

Until the waiting stopped

In the terrible realization

That you’re actually gone

You’re never coming back

And now I’m the only one

Left
