can't get over it

The ghost of you lingers, a scent in the air,

A melody haunting me, a fragment, a prayer.

The echo of laughter, a touch, a kind word,

A constant reminder of all that's unheard.

My heart, a locked room, the key lost in dreams,

Holding memories captive, bathed in moonbeams.

The silence screams volumes, a deafening roar,

Of promises whispered, then spoken no more.

I walk through the world, a half-painted scene,

The vibrant hues faded, where once they had been.

Each laugh I encounter, a shard of your light,

Makes darkness return, heavy, oppressive night.

I try to forget, to move on, to mend,

But the threads of the past, they refuse to transcend.

Like a record on repeat, the memories spin,

Of moments we shared, the love that had been.

The future unfolds, a path yet unknown,

But shadowed by echoes, a love overthrown.

Will the sun ever pierce through this veil of despair?

Can a heart ever heal, ever truly repair?

I search for the answer, a light in the storm,

A way to move forward, a way to be warm.

But the burden of grief, it weighs me down still,

A prisoner of longing, trapped on this hill.

Perhaps time will soften the edges of pain,

And memories transform, like whispers in rain.

But for now, I must carry this weight on my chest,

And hope that someday, this heartache finds rest.

There's beauty in letting go, I know it is true,

But releasing your ghost, it feels far too soon.

So I'll hold you in fragments, a bittersweet hold,

Until the day dawns, when my story unfolds.
