I loved you like the oceans ache
For moonlight they can never take—
A pull so deep, so fierce, so wide,
I swore I’d drown and call it pride.
You laughed, and I forgot the world,
My edges softened, flags unfurled.
In you I found a place to land,
A life rewritten, hand in hand.
We danced through storms without a care,
Our love a light too bright to wear.
But fate, unblinking, chose its mark—
And struck you down and left me dark.
One day you breathed, the next you broke.
The words they said—I never spoke.
My knees gave out, the sky caved in,
The grief began beneath my skin.
Since then, I’ve wandered through my shell,
A haunted house where no ghosts dwell.
My laughter echoes out of place,
A stranger’s mask upon my face.
I scream, but it comes out a sigh.
I sleep, but never say goodbye.
The mirror weeps with someone new—
I miss the me that loved with you.
No com works, no stars align,
Since life forgot that you were mine.
And I, once whole, now just pretend,
A love-lost tale without an end.
