Lingering Shadow
I understand the burden of memories, the remnants of her that still linger around,
In every nook of your life, on each surface, profound
Yet, personal growth need not be a constant reminder of what was
Of her presence, etched into every piece of your life's clause
No longer should her ID lace adorn that wooden chair,
Or her letters hide within the cabinet's secret lair
Her images on your old phone, now in your mother's care,
Nor the photos hidden in your files, a memory you couldn't bear
I grasp that when you professed love to me, your heart held a divide,
Caught between a past and present, where emotions did collide
It's painful when you weren't the initial choice, I know that's true
You don't need her remnants, her memory's embrace,
For in this very moment, it's our love we should embrace
