Wouldn't you?

Wouldn't you fight if you cared?
Wouldn't you stay instead of walk away?
If I told you I wanted you here,
What would you say?
Should I risk it all?

6 years isn't chump change,
This emptiness is draining me,
How can I be me?
When all I am is what I've been?
That's all I've become over the years.

These years with you,
My ride or die,
The "never leave me",
You left me,
I asked for it,
Now I feel like a lie.

Mistakes and misconceptions,
Love even in this form is never free,
And even less so easy.

As much as I love my life,
I'm battling myself without you,
You've been a constant and now you're cold.

Distance makes my heart feel frigid,
Melancholy breaths escape my lips,
Only when I open my eyes do I feel this,
Mementos of a life now ruined,
Even if everyone hates you,
I'll ll never forget you,
My friend and ever diligent companion.
I miss you.
