Amongst All...

Amongst all, my intention
was not to hurt you
though I hated what you did
the fact that i allowed you to
pained me more

Amongst all, my emotions
still breed of you
my nose smelt your scent
that even lingers on my skin
but I never wanted to make you cry

Amongst all, my mind
is filled with thoughts of you
with bittersweet memories
of what we used to be

Amongst all, my heart
still beats to the rhythm
of our song, that we made
but in time fade away
and never heard to this day

Amongst all, my soul
is searching for a mate
that knows it as much
as it would, that cares but

Amongst all this
I wish it was me
whom you never loved...
