Reminiscing about the day we met,
My mind is flooded with the voids you left
Where once a searing sun shone down,
Frigid streams of rain belt down
They weep for the promise lost between us,
Sacred words whispered in the twilight
Torn asunder by the swinging pendulums of time
The warmth I once felt emanate from you
Now feels like a long forgotten thought,
An unattainable dream that ceased to be anything
The memories within my mind, precious reminders
A bittersweet reverie playing continuously without end
It is never-ending suffering, a torturous nightmare
That holds me in its cruel, unyielding grasp
Like a serpent wraps tightly around its prey
But despite the pain, I’ll hold it all within me,
Imprints of you forever molding the shape of my heart
