Seven months

It’s been seven months since us, and it feels so strange,
You became someone new, such a heart-aching change.
Just a week after it all came to an end,
I lost the one I called my life, my bestest friend.
I don’t want to live as a memory’s part,
I want to begin again, to give someone my heart.
To find myself, to love again, to be free,
From the echo of what we used to be.
It hurts to look back a year ago,
When forever was a promise we swore to know.
Now I stand here, quiet, beneath the stars asking why,
Still learning to suffocate… until I die.
