Untitled
You let go of my heart
In a dark, uncertain place.
A closed coffin
That marks the end.
Every slow and agonised beat,
A reminder of a love never meant to be.
You ripped out my soul
And brought forth the tears.
Made my days feel unwelcome and never-ending,
My nights sleepless and haunted by memories.
Even as I try to forget,
I pick up the pieces of my life
And my self respect.
You haunt me
And taunt me,
In more ways than I can count.
You linger like a scent,
Like a melody of a favourite song.
