Where Did I Go Wrong?

Two hours each weekend through the rain,

A forbidden ritual soaked in pain;

I thought your warmth would learn to stay, 

It took a moment to slip away.

 

I came to you in fevered breath,

Dragging my bones through ache and death;

I gave you all I had to give,

My time, my sky, a place to live.

 

Where did I falter, where did I fall?

Or was I nothing to you at all?

You left without a reason why;

Now I inhale, but never sigh.

 

One day, perhaps, you’ll turn and find

The ghost you buried out of time;

But I am colder than before...

A hollow heart that beats no more.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

It’s about giving everything to someone, only to be left questioning your worth and where you went wrong.
