An ache in your chest
Dunno where we stand
Happy memories ablaze
Standing hand in hand
Where it all began
Nobody can say
The end was unexpected
A world fell apart
Heartstrings cut with cold blades
Tears stinging like darts
A typical day
It wasn't that easy
Letting you go
Was painful and terrifying and
Was it ever so slow
To forget that smile
Your laugh
Your eyes
Your stupid adorable face
Kept me up at night
Sorrow streaming steady
Paired with small silent gasps
Of fresh air I couldn't breathe
Because you took it with you
Not knowing, maybe
Not even caring, perhaps
But chaining my heart
In your fist's grasp
Tugging me with you
Like an invisible cord
Tying me to a chair
I can't close the door
Since you're standing
Right there
And not moving an inch
Forevermore
I'll remember
Because I just can't forget
The bond we once shared
And the times my heart leapt.
