The Shirt on the floor

You left me undone
Like the bed that lies open
Waiting for your return
Like my arms left wide open
Cradling an absent shape

You left me unspoken
And now I can't find the words
Me, I can't find the words
To explain, articulate
The absolute betrayal
Of leaving me undone
On the floor

Like the shirt you left behind
After kissing my neck
And saying you'd never hurt me
Only the next day to say
That something is missing
That you've fallen out of love with me

Me
Who loved you like a lighthouse
I shone, waiting for you to find
your way back to me
Me
Who held you in your sleep
Rocked you like a boat
To make you feel at sea again

You said something was missing
And we were no longer the same
After two years of making love
like it was our last breath
Our last hopes of infinity
Divinity
Undone
Unspoken
How do I
How do I breathe again
When my infinity
My lighthouse
My anchor
And home
Have come undone

This house will never shine onto the sea again
