Unvoiced Introspection: Love & Despair

Stuck

I still remember

That cold September

You held me in your arms

Like nothing could do me harm

I still recall

The longest phone call

You made me trust

That vows could last

I still believe

Wounds could heal

Until you left

My heart's a wreck

I still yearn

Love I used to earn

That certain gaze

To me you gave

I still thirst

Smell of your shirt

I used to own

Things you've worn

I still try

To fake a smile

Forced to face

Reality's case

I still miss

Your hugs and kisses

When we're together

Thought it's forever

I still embrace

Your remarkable grace

Etched in my memory

For all eternity

Stuck in love

We used to have

Left with a void

I'm struggling to avoid

Stuck in the past

Never will last

Said you'll stay

Now you're far away

I won't erase

Everything we made

I'll always treasure

Our relationship's measure.
