Forgive me
If I don’t want to let you go
Forgive me
For you are all I know
Love is transcendent and unfeigned
And things are simply too complicated to be discarded
Perpetual fervor meshes with adamant faith
To meld into a passion that cannot be disregarded
Let soft eyes burn with your image
Let idle hands speak for a broken heart
Can the forsaken articulate with futile words?
Can the desolate conceptualize with fading memories?
My soul still sings your song
My body still bleeds your name
Emotion eludes passive comprehension
But perhaps my answer will sway your resignation
You ask me what I miss the most?
Mostly everything
