life with you in review

scattered random images
of days with you
checklist of the things you stole
running through my head

my heart that will never be the same
from the moment you spoke my name
telling me how important i was to you
all the things i wanted
and needed to hear

my life altered irreparably
patterns changed beyond recognition
for all of us that were a family together
paths so different now
your choice not ours

my love smashed against your stony silence
leaving me unable to feel desirable
unwilling to try
too vulnerable to rejection
too passionate to live this way forever

my dreams for the future
kept alive by your smile and your touch
never meant as much obviously
not a shared vision
perspectives not in alignment

of all the things taken
the one most regretted
       and
most deperately needed back
are my dreams

you took my dreams
those i'll never get back

without dreams there is just no hope
only survival any way possible
meaningless moments
lived with others
shallow, so shallow
will be the attempts

you took my dreams
