"Why'd You Leave?" -Talan S

Poem:
In twilight hours, I seek your face,
In empty rooms, I find no trace.
We shared our dreams like stars on high,
But now those stars just seem to die.
Did you ever care, did you ever see,
The way I loved you, the real me?
I gave you everything, my heart laid bare,
But now I wonder if you were ever there.
We walked in parks, hands intertwined,
I thought our souls were gently aligned.
But now I search through memories dim,
Wondering if you ever cared for me.
The laughter we shared, the secrets we spoke,
Were they just words, or hearts that woke?
Did you feel a spark, or was it just me,
Hoping for things that could never be?
I still hear your voice in the quiet night,
A soft reminder of what felt so right.
But echoes fade; they’re lost in the breeze,
And I’m left holding empty memories.
I see our pictures hanging on the wall,
Frozen in time, before the fall.
Did those smiles mean anything to you,
Or were they just moments that slipped on through?
I think of the times we danced in the rain,
The warmth of your laughter, the joy and the pain.
But as I look back, I can’t help but fear,
That maybe a part of you never was here.
Now I walk this path, a shadow of hope,
Trying to find just a way to cope.
Did you ever care, or was it just a game?
A fleeting glance, a whisper of flame.
I search the night sky for answers unknown,
A heart once full has turned to stone.
Still, I wish you well, wherever you are,
Even if you never worried or cared from afar.
Love once burned bright, now flickers and fades,
In the depths of my heart, the worry remains.
Will time heal the wounds of what we had shared?
Or will I always wonder if you ever cared?
