My lips parted to speak a few words

But I could not

Something in me choked up

Swallowed tears

I looked at the mirror

Hoping to find myself

But all I could see

Was the reflection of you

Because I had morphed

Into the likeness of you

Us breathing in the same air

Our forces never collided

Only connected

To form cells that held our DNA

We could never get

Enough of each other

Craving more

And more of each other’s

Skin and lips

So much so

That one day I felt

My lips turn dry without

Your kisses

You had turned into someone

New yet old

I couldn’t recognize this person

Whom I had once called “love”

Whispered “goodnight”

And cried “sorry”

He stared into my eyes

Once so tenderly

And all was left now

Was emptiness

Soulless

He was once my Camelot

But now it was crumbling walls and plasters

Things were never forgotten

Just put aside

Placed somewhere

Far and deep

Taken out only

When loneliness strikes
