I still
Remember
The sleepless
Nights,
Where I
Tossed and turned
Hoping
To drift
Away.

Where the tears
Stained
My pillow
And marked
My face.

The way
Nothing could
Comfort me,
Because the only way
I could be
Comforted
Was to hear
Your voice,
But you were no longer
Here.

I still remember
The way
My mind
Shut down,
Trying to
Forget you,
Yet somehow
You'd still
Appear
In my memories.

You haunted me
Like a ghost,
Always around
Like a
Bittersweet melody.

I still remember
How much effort
It took
To convince myself
You were never coming back.
The lifeless days
I spent
In your absence,
Shuffling around
In habit.

I still remember
How I silently
Hoped
For your return.

I still remember
The acceptance
After
The grief.

Yet a part
Of me
Still hoped.
