No one speaks the truth,
the pain of love’s quiet end,
burns deeper than flame.

I smile through the ache,
but my chest is caving in,
grief with every breath.

He was my heart’s beat,
words fall short of all he means,
love beyond language.

Today we let go.
Final goodbyes, silent tears,
flood the space he filled.

Night and day I break,
wishing he could feel my pain,
wishing I could see him again,

But I breathe again,
whispers of him fills the air,
soft, and always near.

Though he walks away,
love remains, a sacred flame
burning without end.
This poem is about how true love lingers even when lovers are no longer together.
