The Day I Forgot

My heart sank into my gut
Leaving an empty, sickening feeling
My body numb from touch
And eyes left tearless
This day was by far 
And beyond any other day
The day I’d never forget
The day I forgot 
What love felt like

I couldn’t remember what it felt like
To be touched
To be held
To have hope
Not for the life of me 
Could I even reminisce
On past love

The day I’d never forget
The day I forgot 
What love felt like
