It Wasn’t Supposed to Be Like This

It wasn’t supposed to be like this,
held captive in a life long lost.
Struggling to summon her voice, her face,
warm remembrance given way to frost.

She left me on a winter’s day,
though she’d left me long before.
To weak to let her find her way,
begging she stay a minute more.

Mired in guilt and dark despair,
heart slaving to overcome.
Days and nights grew into one,
not living, nothing but numb.

No, it wasn’t supposed to be like this,
a heart left caged and unattended.
A grievous wrong was done that day,
leaving another forever suspended.
