It feels as if the whole universe has descended upon me,
And immersed itself to the depths of my soul.
It has submerged deeply to a place I cannot see.
Seeking the place it knows most vulnerable.
I am not willing to stop it; and I wish no control.
This eternal weight has traveled to its final destination.
Chained by tenacious shackles of lies and deceit,
My heart is enveloped in torrid fascination.
I cannot escape and I do not want to;
I want to be reminded one last time
Of how it feels to be betrayed by you.
The moonlight forges a winding path into my room
Spilling its brilliance in sweet fusion
With the emptiness of this barren place.
The midnight sun catches the trailing end of a single tear
As it falls gently down my face,
Resting ever so lightly upon my lips.
I close my eyes tighter as I try to shut out the emanating pain;
And a second hopeless tear follows trace,
The light shines upon its journey as it seeks a resting place.
My tears shy away but the light won’t give up the chase.
Now, that’s two tears for the lips
To wash clean the lips you used to kiss.
Memories of you transcend from deep within
And stumble their way into the starry night;
Sweet release of you which feels so incredibly right.
Visions of you trace imaginary waterfalls and beautiful rivers in the dark;
Cascading ribbons of past romance in this untouchable phase,
Beating softly against the picture of your falling face.
My heart feels heavy; laden with the enormous weight of the world.
But I would gladly live the rest of my life with such a burden,
If it meant all these bittersweet memories of you could be forgotten.
There is no comparison to the pain you have left behind.
This unimaginable hurt belongs to another place and time.
You’ve shattered my happiness in a thousand and one diamond pieces,
Each one has fallen to the deepest parts of my heart.
And forever they shall sit, broken and brilliant,
Permanently marking the pain that never ceases.
You have created memories more resonant than anything else I’ve ever known.
A mass heavier than the burden of the world that lies in my heart tonight;
Nothing has ever felt so real and distant at the same time.
I used to love the sweet anticipation of midnight dreams,
But now that you’ve gone,
Dreams are all but a word,
And sleep is nothing but a state.
You’ve stripped all the magical pleasure away.
Now, night after night, I yearn for the morning light.
I wish for the evening stars to hide their twinkle away
I desire the velvet sky to sweep your face to another day.
But no matter how hard I try,
The moon continues to float in the evening sky
And those brilliant diamonds continue to shine.
This was supposed to be my last lonely night for you,
But the air still smells of lavender and the sweet scent of your love;
The memories are simply too much.
