You took what you could

You took what you could,
you took what you needed,
and when you left,
you disappeared over the horizon,
and I was left bereft,
but I did not know why you had gone,
and there are so many questions unanswered,
and they are as long as the day is long,
and I wish I had known that something was wrong,
but you never showed it upon your face,
and in your eyes for nothing seemed amiss,
but now I am alone,
and wondering what I had done wrong,
for I loved you like the sun,
because you brought such warmth to me,
and then without warning,
you vanished and now I feel cold in this winter,
because snows have so badly frozen my heart,
and I pine for you like I have never done,
and with my shattered heart so brittle and filled with icicles,
I try my best to carry on,
and with such tears in my eyes,
how cruel love is sometimes,
how cruel,
and when you vanished without a warning over the horizon,
how heartbroken was I,
and now my world is shattered,
and how bitter the loss is now that your love has gone.
