I had a vision of you and me living happily
To my surprise, my vision became our reality
We did everything together, we were inseparable
We loved what we had and it's undeniable

But slowly the vision so clear to me, in your eyes became blurry
And I had to carry you so you wouldn't trip and you wouldn't leave me
Now I bear the burden of fixing the broken pieces that fell apart
Alone, bruised, wounded, in desperate need of your once loving heart

But the load was too heavy so I had to let you go thinking it'll be better
Little did I know, the chain of memories latched onto me like tether
Now I'm traversing shackled, feeling even heavier each passing day
Wondering why did you have to leave me when everything was okay
Slowly dying insede
Slowly put together the pieces of my broken world
Only to fall apart in an instant because of your heartless words
I tried so hard to build up the happiness I lost
I should've known that happiness comes at a cost
Why does it feel so wrong to keep the peace I wanna obtain?
What the hell did I do to deserve this kind of pain?
Somebody, please tell me what should I feel?
I'm tired of holding back the feelings that I deem real
We don't know what our futures hold
Don't let our feelings remain untold
Take some time to express our feeling
Because time is gold, but it is fleeting
For one day, we might've just wasted
The chances we've taken for granted

Then we'd have bittersweet memories
Haunting the pages of our allegories
For we lost what we treasure the most
Because we did nothing when we had the every single opportunity to keep them at all cost
Treasure what you have before you regret losing what you had.
When was the last time you genuinely felt okay?
How long has it been since happiness slipped away?

Do you still have hope that everything will turn out fine?
Or did despair finally swallow the light that used to shine?

How long do you have to fight for battles you cannot win?
How much more should you give up before you finally give in?

Tell me. After all this time, are you still in pain?
I know this poem isn't exactly sunny skies, but if you feel like you can relate, keep holding on.
In the wilderness I wander
Laden with a heavy burden
Searching for something clearer
Than a mind hopelessly barren

Wasteland of broken promises
Bear with me as I shed my tears
Let me despise all my lapses
The harbinger of my fears

I have so many questions
I will never find the answer
No glimmer of redemption
From the times we shared together

When will the raging storms I see
Leave my eternal haven
When will I finally be free
From our love you've forgotten

How did we end up this way
After everything we've been through
Why would you wake up one day
Deciding you don't love me like you used to
Why? How?

I wish it meant as little to me, as it did to you.
I want to be your everything
but I don't want you to learn to have to cling
I love the space of your confidence
Mentally full of opulence

Someday everything will come true
Together the complications we will undo
Then nothing will block the bridge over our gaps
We will conquer all mishaps

Long have I desired to lay by you
In the darkness breathing in silence just us two
To hold you is more than holding life
for you are my sacred one , my wife

Laying still cheek to cheek
The faintest breaths that come so meek
With lip to lip and hand on hip
And curls across your face I flip

As you lay across my chest
my fingers follow spine up to the crest
The moon has risen and lights up the room
Far away comes the sound of loons

How now is my wish it would stay all night
If came true there would be no morning light
No end to this enchanted interlude
Lost in our eternal solitude
