A love lost

Years of longing, a heart laid bare,
Wishing, hoping, that you’d still care.
But the warmth that once lit your eyes,
Is gone now, replaced by ice-cold skies.

Your words, once soft, now cut like stone,
Harsh echoes of a love overthrown.
Your voice, sharp as a winter’s chill,
Tears through the heart it used to fill.

I’ve given all, I’ve done my best,
Yet you treat me like I’m less.
Your gaze no longer holds me tight,
Just a hollow stare, void of light.

In every gesture, in every tone,
You’ve made me feel so utterly alone.
Though I’ve stood by, done all I could,
You tear me down, as if I never should.

Once, I thought you saw my soul,
But now you make me feel less than whole.
I am nothing in the way you speak,
Though I’ve been strong, you make me weak.

The years I spent, the love I gave,
Now buried deep in an unmarked grave.
I wanted you, but now I see,
The love was lost long before me.

My heart is torn, broken in two,
But I’m still standing, despite you.
