Pain

In the hollow depths of night,
His memory grips me tight.
A ghost that haunts each breath I take,
A sorrow from which I can't wake.

His laughter, now a mournful cry,
An echo of the last goodbye.
His touch, once tender, now a thorn,
A constant ache, a heart still torn.

We walked on dreams that turned to dust,
Each vow we made betrayed our trust.
A love that bloomed then withered fast,
Leaving wounds that forever last.

Though he is gone, his shadow clings,
A specter on my heartstrings.
A chapter closed with tear-stained ink,
A sorrow from which I cannot shrink.

He was my everything, my world,
Now shattered dreams, memories curled.
A love that broke and left me scarred,
A pain too deep, a soul marred.
