A remainder of what was,a picture of what it could have been, a remnant of traces I wish to leave behind, those
Whose contributions
In my life was that of
A thick film of you
Which resided In the reflection of my heart
Which obscure my thoughts
And compromised life as we know it
No longer will I hold onto you,what I once held, For it's clear now that you are there but not really there,
I'm finding my value, my worth beyond this mess,loosening the ties, finding solace and happiness.
I don't want to rebuild what's been disintegrated and lost,
I'm bidding you goodbye, with a heavy heart but also exhaust.We crossed a line, led by curiosity oscillated,
Now burdened with the repercussion of our actions, I search for a way to erase your traces.
Once Joy and trust were the foundation we stood on,Related by shared moments, a connection thoughtlessly left your prints.
But in our walk your strength started to grow weary, passion tore us into pieces,
Leaving trails of regret deep in our hearts,
We should have remained loyal and strong to one another
For the flame of desire has now gone amiss.
Intimate moments have left us shattered knowing what I once tasted is gone for ever,And now I tussle with regret, my spirit torn into shreds.
But when we crossed the line, it all turned to a sticky stain that refuse to go away .
