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.
