A Heart Still Holding

A heart once captive, now held in thrall,
A prisoner of love, answering its call.

Though time has passed, and wounds have healed,
A piece of me, forever sealed

I hold your memory, a cherished prize,
A bittersweet treasure, where love lies.

Though you're no longer here, your spirit's near,
A constant presence, dispelling fear.
My heart still holds, a love so true,

A flame that flickers, burning through.
A testament to what once was,
A love eternal, everlasting trust.
