You're Gone

You left so quickly
In the blink of an eye
You didn't even take the time
To turn and say goodbye

I sit right here, all alone
I promise not to cry
Though no matter what I do
Tears still fall from my eyes

**I know you're gone, though I don't know how
I don't know where or why
Don't know what made you leave me here
So I just sadly sigh**

You're gone, you're gone forever more
The days drag on and on
Why, oh, why did you just leave?
Did I do something wrong?

I run after you every day
Calling out your name
Shouting, yelling, screaming loud
Though it's always the same....

Somehow, my constant calls and pleads
Fall upon deaf ears
And every time I look at you
It's like you've been gone for years

Now months have passed and I've given up
I'm tired of playing along
Your twisted games, your hurtful lies
I'm done with you -- you're gone

About stanza with ** around it:
I changed it from the original. I didn't think the original flowed too well and it bugged the heck out of me, so I just changed it. The original part's here for anyone who wants to know:

Spoiler:

-clap clap-

I love it!! It's amazing. (:

This is sad. D: But it's really good. Nice job, Saddle.

Thanks Leah and Ave (I still feel awkward posting smilies on sad poems xD)

Wow, that was amazing. Really touching and sad, great job.

Thanks Forry (awkward....xD)

*dances* Is it less awkward now?

Great job, Saddle!

Forry: Iiiiii don't know xD

Puck: Thanks

I should make it less awkward, too! :O

*pulls out spear and jabs it at Saddle* You use smileys or else, young lady!

Annnnywho . . . I liked that. x3 It feels like it should be a song!

It'd be an awfully short song....xD

Maybe, but oh well. xD I still think so.

Haha, thanks xD I guess I could work on trying to make it a song xD

I just reread it and I think there's a verse or stanza or whatever the heck it's called that doesn't flow too well....=/ What do you peoples think?

Gosh, that stanza's really bugging me....xP I don't know how to fix it, though

Wow, this is really touching poem. Great job, Saddle.

Hmmm...which verse/stanza?

Thanks, Lucky (awkward....xD)

This one:

I know you're gone
But I don't know why
I don't know where or how
So I just breathe a sad sigh

I keep reading it and thinking, "Elgh, that's so off...."

xD

Hmmm...I really like that part, but maybe you could take out the "just?" I dunno. xD

"Elgh" is an interesting sound. I've never heard that one before. xD

I think it'd work better if I made it:

I know you're gone, though I don't know how
I don't know where or why
Don't know what made you leave me here
So I just sadly sigh

But that changes a lot....

It does, but I think it sounds good.

I think I'm gonna change it, but keep the original part in a spoiler. xD

xD That's a good idea.

All better
