Ever Since You Left

The clocks stopped ticking ever since you left.
The grass stopped growing, and the flowers stopped blooming.

The sun stopped rising, ever since you left.
The light stopped shining, and the moon stopped hiding.

The clouds stopped pouring ever since you left.
The ceiling stopped leaking, and the trees stopped dripping.

The fire stopped burning ever since you left.
The flames stopped roaring, and the ash stopped falling.

My life stopped moving ever since you left.
I never stopped crying, and I never started living.
