pavements and pathways

Walking down pavements and pathways
To the place where you left me
A bus stop of empty emotions
I sit on your last resting place
For though you may not be dead
You are forever lost to me
This is where we spent our last moments
A turbulent time
Drenched in rain and tears
It took years
Years for you to walk into my life
And yet in minutes you were gone
The roar of an engine
Being you final dirge to me
There was no love in your farewell
But my goodbyes where drowned in it
And our final kiss
To me was half hearted bliss
So now in my apartment
I can hear you presnce lost
and the space you left on our bed
is filled only by the shadow of regret
