Shut Me Off

Yet it feels so strange

To say baby

When I'm not saying it to you

To notice you in

Other people

To feel you through

Others

You left without giving me a chance

To say all that I needed to

You had the last word

The last kiss

The last everything

I had nothing

All I have now is your clothes that mean nothing

Your letters that mean nothing

Phone calls and texts

That were all lies

And a heart

That once gave so much love

It flowed from my body like water.

That heart is dried up and can no longer spill

You shut off the plumbing
