linger
I lied to myself;
"She was never there".
And in my defense,
The loss was easier to bare.
The tears stopped falling,
My chest ceased burning,
It is certainly devastating,
To find yourself lacking..
To know deep inside
That you have been tried,
And were found wanting:
Of this fact you cannot hide.
Numbed in order to survive.
But this past winter
You were suddenly alive.
The shock forced me to hinder.
Gently, your image is rekindled,
Demolishing my fake peace.
Leaving me bewildered,
How you returned with such ease.
As I sat in this prison
Unable to escape.
Or comprehend the reason
My tears started to drape.
So long ago you were,
My personal gift of heaven,
The warmth that made laments a blur,
And abruptly became forbidden.
For two long years,
I didn't think of you.
For too many tears,
Have been shed over you.
So, why all of the sudden
Are you back to haunt me?
Why do you still linger
In my heart devoutly?
My love for you is never gone
I think i'm sure of this,
But the guilt of driving away the one,
Left me in dismay as you are in bliss.
