I close my eyes as a wave of suffocating regret crashes over me.
Tears glisten on my cheeks, each drop carving deeper into my soul.
A sharp ache grips my chest, my heart pleading to break free,
But instead, it's begging to shatter.
I struggle to breathe,
Each gasp feels like drowning in despair.
Still, I wonder what we could have been,
Haunted by the ghost of a love that never was,
A bittersweet ache that lingers like a phantom touch,
Forever lost in the shadows of what might have been.
