They say ignorance is bliss
and for a moment
I almost regretted our kiss

They say to love and lose
Is better than never loving at all
But some days
I can’t help but disagree

I thought I’d grown used
to living without you
This emptiness once hollow
now filled with the weight of my own
presence
no longer craving your touch
Your voice
Your need

Yet still
These memories keep creeping in
slipping through the cracks I swore I
sealed
a shadow that never fades
haunting the quiet moments
whispering your name

All these **** poems
I’ve written about you
They drag me through time
Back to a place  
Where your love was mine
