Feelings Remain

"The double grief of a lost bliss is to recall its happy hour while writhing in agony"

These days you love me no more,
nor am I treasured by you anymore.
Now I am all alone.
What did you tell me when we parted?
The words hung in midair and never reached me.
I know my dreams and wishes are illusory;
and yet I cannot give up on them.

You said, "Don't let go, hold onto my hand" and,
"We will always be together."
Your hands as I held them were warm and tender.

I will devote myself only to you,
I know the pain of loneliness
So everything that makes me whole
Now, I dedicate it all to you.
