**After Love**
Press on — change is hard,
Evershadowing the past
that won't hold you,
a memory, grown faint.
Scars, they hum like a tune,
rooms once warm now gone cold.
a faded garden that held you close
Corroded brass into fake gold
turned walls into chains
thick as ivy — tangled tight —
Now broken vines, scattered leaves,
Shapes never since
Distorting past realities,
Sitting still with the dust of old hours —
still beautiful,
but worn by the cost of gravity
The void must close,
breathing through night, heavy and dark,
somewhere beneath, you feel
a flame stitched in your bones —
a little spark that won't go still.
There's life after love,
like stars that don't fade.
A soul always deserves Love
And it never rest
Every bruise — a beat, it hurts
every scar — a root laid.
Rising piece by piece,
letting dawn lift you slow.
Let the hurt grow green,
like trees from the snow.
Your body ached but,
Your heart's still a lantern —
it shines in the dark,
and when love finds you again,
let it know you
— whole.
