Once, you were my everything.

Picture Source

The space you once occupied
Is now lonely and empty

At least we tried

The chair you once lounged in
Sits alone in solitude

Silent and barren

The arms that once held me
Now, exist only in my memory

Only, in my dreams

The perfect vision of you
Dances in my thoughts

A magical picture of two

The love that once comforted me
Has disappeared completely

It’s now a mistake, I’ll always regret

A forgotten bliss
A silent ache, I’ll forever miss
