i no longer long for you
my feelings are an empty shell
they were once beautiful
but eternity doesn't exist within this frail heart
i haven't blossomed
into this radiant being
i had fantasised about
in my head, rather i've rotted to the root
i no longer long for you
all i feel is a perpetual loneliness
that doesn't get tired
of chasing me down
love was my weakness and the dirt in which my roots are planted has become my regret
