It can happen to anyone. We've probably all been here, done it and got the scars to prove it! Here's two sides of the same coin.

He's Gone

Gone
He left
A long note
He said that "we"
Could never be "one"
My hopes lay in tatters
Now nothing else matters
I'm perplexed, lonely and broken
Perhaps "we" should have spoken? He's gone.
