Secondary Effects

Silence amplifies, increasing the void in my life. Iambic pain, is the rhythm of my broken heart. Day after day, I remember your infectious smile. Eventually, I’ll forget the pain of losing you. Eagerness still dwells in my soul, though I’m Feeling impatient of living this miserable way. Facing the world without your love, Experiencing the pain of lovers past, Cradled to the only memories of happiness, Thinking of the times we shared, I’m plagued with the Side effects of loving you.
