My bitter sweet refrain

My bitter sweet refrain

A Poem by Nancy Kathleen
"

To my unfathomable heartache I will live again

"
When you vanished - you left a void in my chest
You said I was surreal but I was never your best
You placed daggers onto my heart now you're leaving me empty?
How dare you withstand a fine life without me?

I swallowed my arrogance and held on to you
I capitulated myself completely but you weren't true
I forgot how to breathe when you made your choice
It was so clear and timid despite the noise.

You who once spoke the sweetest vow
How did you become a stranger now?
What have I done? You have pushed me away
What have I done not to make you stay?

You turned your back - became a bitter refrain
But your memory I know will forever remain
The cosmos-the sphere and the globes will not know
Why on earth I just can't- I just can't let you go.

I have said enough. I have said too much
But these words can't bring back your slightest touch
I will burry your existence every moment every now and then
And tonight I will be able to live again. I will live again.
