Residue

A Poem

when you're gone my world doesn't make any sense

The memory of you is bittersweet,

a cold arrow that struck my chest,

then warms me from my head to feet,

but is all a beautiful memory

-----

Our paths had to diverge,

you took yours easily,

you found a way to merge,

and now my puzzle is missing

-----

You left me and forgotten me,

leaving me disarmed in chaos,

you just buried me,

but no I will keep moving

-----

All this reverie disappeared, what do I get as a residue?

All that I have is the dusted memories spent with you
