A sad but very well written poem. Nicely expressed, too!

>I'VE BEEN GONE
>
>I�ve been gone from your touch
>Yet you noticed not the coldness there
>But the warmth of another�s breath
>As she sighed in her despair.
>
>I�ve been gone from your sight
>You noticed not my missing form
>But the ghost of another�s presence
>As, from innocence, she was torn.
>
>I�ve been gone from your ears
>Yet you noticed not my silenced voice
>But the arpeggios of another�s concern
>As she screamed of never having a choice.
>
>I�ve been gone from your heart
>Yet you noticed not that hole within
>But camouflaged it with another�s misery
>As you both ached and cried again.
>
>My poetry has disappeared from your pleasure
>Yet you noticed not that my words were gone
>But instead rejoiced in daily life frolics
>As my heart and energy has ceased to linger on.
>
