Haunted Still

Your voice
it echoes in my mind
and when I am resigned
that I will never think of you again
you become a distant thought
still beating life into my heart

In pain of you I sit
in hope those pieces fall in place
and by some simple miracle they fit
I never once expected us to die and fade away,
all those promises we made

Yet we were broken beyond repair
our souls laid bare
and so empty of emotion
Do you remember how consumed we were
by our depth of sheer devotion

I fell so hard
and still I saw a glimmer
of the brightness we once shared
I know despite it all you truly cared
In closeness I exhaled for you

and still in love
you flickered in the distance of my mind
hinting at chance
in my own false hope
of mending our traumatized romance

I would miss you
but I know it makes no sense
even when my thoughts are so intense
I just can't mend the fracture
of two hearts so badly wounded

and I am forever haunted by your echoes in my mind.
