Culprit
I never told you
how much I cried
The very moment
you left my side
My breath was taken
from deep within
The floor I walked on
turned wafer thin
A darkened shadow
consumed my day
This horrid feeling
won't fade away
I feel so lost
and so alone
Completely trapped
all on my own
I wait forgotten
for your return
You showed no care
truth no concern
Life passed me by
days turned to night
My heart did pain
done with this fight
Reason confused
my focus blurred
Nothing made sense
my stomach stirred
As urge does fade
I must forfeit
My insides dead
you're the culprit
