Once, there was something that you had loved
No, not the love that you had once embraced and then left as
easy
Love, that had embraced you
in its close clutches
Reached out to your heart, through your flesh
grabbed the pounding organ in its claws and felt it beating
Held it for eon whilst it became a part of you
And then finally after eternity had passed on,
it left you, to be on your way as if nothing had ever
happened
But something happened, something that changed you forever
You never realized it, it happened slow
You thought you’d healed
You thought you moved on
But you didn’t, it took something when it went away
A very small bit, a tiny piece of your heart
creating a vacuum in your soul forever
You scrounge to fill it with something else, anything
A race, a lie, a goal, a search
But never are you ever able to fill your soul again
Slowly, the hole takes life of its own, and filling itself
up
And it fills up with every experience of the love you’ve now
lost
Every experience that had been bestowed upon you
You may believe that you left a bit of yourself behind
But in truth, you carried the entire experience with you
And now, you can never be separated from your past
