Regrets linger heavily,
There are long shadows cast,
Love’s flame extinguished,
There’s no chance we’ll last.
In fervent haste,
I bade us a final adieu.
Hopelessly, passionlessly
I forgot to love you
There was an absence of heart,
a chasm so wide,
We stood naked and adrift,
In love’s ebbing tide.
Our love slipped away,
Like the timers falling sand,
I failed to fully appreciate,
Or even barely understand.
There were moments when love
Marooned and unattended,
Two hearts turned cold
Love’s spark finally ended,
A painful situation,
Unrequited love left behind,
I feel utterly empty,
Memories slowly unwind.
There’s a deathly pallor’d silence.
Lessons untouched, unlearned
Warming ardent desire
Tending hearts that yearned
I will never forget,
Melancholic love, sad blue
Our world disintegrated,
Because; I forgot to love you
