Connected To You

A month ago my life was bright,
full of beauty and delight.

For nothing more could I ask,
completely confident it would last.

So on that dark and dreary day,
surprised was I to hear you say.

“I need some space in my life,
I no longer want to be your wife.”

No more reason did you supply,
just a cold and tearless goodbye.

How could this be was my thought,
we never argued, bickered or fought.

But it was clear I must resign to the fact,
that all of my love would not bring you back.

You refused to explain your choice to me,
but after today I now clearly see.

How happy he looked with you by his side,
at that very moment part of me died.

I tried hard to resist and just walk away,
but with nothing to lose I could not be swayed.

Oh the look on your face as his life slipped away,
was the same look I had when you left me that day.

Our lives again are connected though not quite the same,
once connected by love now connected by pain.
