Just when you think that the nights won't hurt
and the eyes wont tear
That familiar feeling rushes back in
With the force of a brick avalanche.
I love you. I still do. I never stopped.

My love
You broke me into little shards
And I did what shards do
I cut
I cut you off
But in the process
I cut myself off.

The pain never stopped
It got more unbearable
These nights never end well
The crack of dawn brings misery
I can never cry into my pillow during sunlight hours.

The searing pain of missing you
Is tattooed into the crevices of my soul
It aches and aches
Burns and burns
My heart shatters again

My jaan
We were ours.
Your temperature, my fingertips
My skin, your lips.
