A soul shattered,
a heart left in pain,
a mind gone insane.
A sort of suffering,
feelings no one can explain.
Once having so much to gain,
the weight of our physical
distance apart only remains.
Even in the darkest moments
when I feel I cannot see,
I know deep down
you still reside in me.
Like when the first ray of sun
hits the morning dew,
I drew breath the moment
I met you.
