It wasn’t a huge ask,
Was it?
I begged for your love, I cried in despair,
You only watched, like you didn’t care.
Even if you weren’t the one to blame,
I loved you more than words could name.
I tried to keep you safe and warm,
Even when I braved the storm.
I wanted to paint your world so bright,
While drowning alone in endless night.
I could barely stand, yet took your hand,
Helped you walk, helped you withstand.
That’s the hardest part to say—
You understood my pain each day.
I did my best, I gave my all,
I swore to love you through each fall.
And then you said I was the one,
Your special star, your setting sun.
I thought, at last, I’ve found my place,
In your warm arms, in your embrace.
We had no walls, we had no chains,
We had no fear, we felt no pains.
We were perfect, we were whole,
But something dark consumed it all.
I don’t know how it felt for you,
But for me, it cut right through.
You broke me when I tried to heal,
Made my love seem so unreal.
It doesn’t matter anymore,
I’ll forget, just like before.
But sometimes pain still fills my chest,
Sometimes my tears just won’t rest.
I miss you when I hear a song,
When movies play, when nights feel long.
I carry love that has no place,
A hollow heart, a lost embrace.
My shoulders shake beneath this weight,
A love too pure, a twisted fate.
Last night, I saw you in my dream,
Just before the sunlight gleamed.
You stood alone, I ran, I flew,
Like all the past had been untrue.
No path of pain, no trail of scars,
No aching heart, no broken stars.
I held you close, refused to part,
Afraid to lose my shattered heart.
I cried and told you, loud and clear,
How much I missed you, wished you near.
How lost I felt, how much it stung,
The way you left when love was young.
I loved you more than I should dare,
The way I wished someone would care.
Then I woke up—
Tears still fell,
You were gone,
And I was hell.
I just want to say, I miss it all,
The rise, the fall, the silent call.
But love like ours is laced with fire,
A cruel, untamed, and wild desire.
Maybe someday, in some new life,
I’ll hold you close, without the strife.
Tell you then, what now feels wrong,
And never fear, you won’t be gone.
Because you’ll be there,
And you’ll be mine.
