When I Lost You Forever

I thought that you were my forever home,
But all of that has now turned into charred
Ashes. Darling, what happened to our
Foundation? We would search and roam
This town to find our roots, near and far.
You want to switch directions in this hour
When the sun is barely up, leaving it all
Behind. You let things crumble and fall
So you could finally find your happiness
Somewhere else, even if it was no longer
Me. I lost you to the voice in my head that
Said to stay as the words that will carry us
To the place that made us much stronger
Faded on the tip of the tongue. With a flat
And an empty promise you deserted me.
You are not coming back, despite the sea
Promising your return. That is when I lost
You forever. I took a gamble at a high cost.
