"You have stolen my heart"

I cannot speak of anyone else,
you never vacate my mind
or leave the shelf.

I want you to be around,
I keep you around,
I cannot bear you beneath ground.

So your frame stays,
your memories continue to flood
and I breathe you in my blood.

Will I ever be able to admit?
You are forever gone,
left me feeling wrong.

I got used to the pain,
bled for a chance to heal
a chance to retrieve what was real.

But was it ever real?
I sit here abandoned
feeling rationed.

You will never step foot
on my mat in prediction
for you have ultimately left
leaving me bare hope as a theft.
