Alone I wept

 
 
Alone I wept.
Memories of you still burned in my mind.
My room is a mess, clothes everywhere. 
I can not keep my sobs still.
My tears run rampant.
How could it end so quickly?
 
How could you take everything back so quickly?
I asked over, and over as I wept.
My emotions run rampant.
How I wished to erase you from my mind.
For you are there still.
Your presence everywhere.
 
I see you everywhere.
When you see me, you retreat quickly.
How I wish to hold you still.
On that cold December day, we both wept.
You changed your mind.
My anger was rampant.
 
The words I spoke, ran rampant.
Pacing like a mad man everywhere.
When I lost you, I lost my mind.
How you could just forget me easily,quickly.
My family seeing the pain you caused, with me they wept.
How I long for you still.
 
In that moment the earth stood still.
Frozen, nothing rampant.
The angels wept,
For it seemed sadness was everywhere.
I wish to recover quickly,
And have peace of mind.
 
Do I ever cross your mind?
Do you think of me still?
Would you run into my arms again so quickly?
Would you let your heart run rampant?
Would you once again accompany me everywhere?
Enough with meaningless questions. Alone I still wept.
 
Alone I wept, no peace of mind.
I see you everywhere still.
I wish to run rampant, and quickly.
