In a world that fears commitment you said you'd spend your life with me. In a world that asks for payment, you gave your love for free.
Despite the pain of loss, life goes on in an almost morbid mockery of me. No matter where I go, I feel I don’t belong in a place where I stand fixed and everything is moving.
They all said to me: “Recognize, indeed, she's really not a thing you need And abstain from writing things of her that she will never read.”
Somehow, I still long for the harmony of our full and beating hearts entwined. And I wonder if you miss me, reminiscing of all the times when I could hold your hand in mine.
But I still hold you close to my head and closer to my heart, it was always us against the world, and now we're worlds apart.
This poem was created in collaboration with the amazing Daniel Lockerbie. It is entirely possible that we are Doppelgängers. Check out all his great work here: http://hellopoetry.com/daniel-lockerbie/
