Echoes of Lost Love: A Sonnet of Longing and Memories

Staring at nowhere, bringing back the clock

Haven't forgotten those moments we shared.

Stacked-up memories hidden and unlocked,

Sadness, longing, wandering never bared.

That green eyes, who's smiling at my beauty,

And that red lips, talking sweet words for me,

Your Southern accent though may sound groovy,

My heart cradles the pain nothing like a scree.

Oh, Love, where are those green eyes and red lips?

I missed the cymbals ringing through my ears.

Tears no one can fix but your hand that grips

Cries that you would never see, crimson tears.

How I wish we could touch hands, bare our souls,

but now I'm dancing with your ghost of woes.

Far Away

I am looking at you, but you didn't notice.

I am talking to you, but you're not listening.

I am touching your face, but you're fast asleep

I am holding your hands, but you take them away

I am trying to make you laugh, but you just frown at me

I am kissing you, but your thoughts are far away from here.

The stare you had set on me before

 .. is no longer there.

The eagerness you shared with me when we talk back then

 .. is now lost in the air.

The attention you had given me even when you're about to fall asleep

 .. is nowhere to find.

The touch you had more than lovingly returned

 ..is nothing but an ice-cold treatment.

The smile you had shown me

 ..is now complete sarcasm.

The love you have so confidently expressed whilst will not change

 ..is now a dire insult to my womanhood and sanity.

The times you have never filled in the tank,

you never let me do too.

The times we fight, we have never talked it out.

You're far away now

 ..and I'm becoming for what it causes.

Time flies...

 I too would be so far away from your sight.

Love Lost

From that day when you left me,

my whole world fell apart...

my heart has broken into pieces...

and yet you were never satisfied...

never expected that you will step into it...

You asked me what was wrong,,

but I refused to answer what is inside of me...

I just said, "NOTHING SERIOUS"...

but when you turned your back on me,

I just whispered "EVERYTHING"...

A broken heart never really heals...

it was just kept in the deepest part of your life...

it was too funny to say that you've broken my heart,,

but still...

"I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART"...

The spaces between your fingers should be filled with mine...

but now it is filled with hers.

I never thought that the person whom  I've loved so much,,

cause me so much pain...

I've tried to forget you...

but no matter how I've tried,

I just can't let go of you...

I just wish that dreams and wishes do come true...

because in my dreams you were always there...

just like living in a fantasy,,

but when reality comes..you weren't there...

I've tried so hard to pretend that everything in me is doing alright...

but when I am all alone..the pain..the agony...

it's just like a wound that heals but the scar remains...

I've tried to cover it with a fake smile,,

and act as if it's not hurting me...

now I feel like I wanna hate the word "LOVE and GOODBYE"

I've foolishly held on tightly for our love...

even though I know I'm no longer the person in your heart...

a lot of my friends say that I should let go of you...

of all the things that connected us in our past,

I just smiled at them and silently cried...

you've torn my whole world apart and you don't even know it...

you were  the one who set it up,,

now you're the one who wants to stop it...

it's so hard to accept that everything between us is over...

you're the only person whom I cared for...

but you left me with a broken heart...

you've once made me feel like I'm on top of the world...

but now I am nothing but a living corpse...

Everything I've learned in breaking up...I learned it from you...

everything ends like how it begins...

love is like heaven but it can be like hell when breaking up is already there...

and the pain strikes your heart...

moving on is the hardest thing to do, especially when your heart wants to keep holding on...

And now I'm living in my own world...

pretending it was nothing...

I've tried to reach for something,,

something that will make me a new one...

though it was unreachable...

I go to a place where I can shout and scream out all the pain inside my heart...

but after that, I just kneel down and cry...

I have written your name on the sand,

but the sea washed it away...

just like how your love had been gone...

maybe I just need to write your name in my heart...

so that it can stay forever...

cause I know that my heart will always be yours...

now I know what true love really means...

once you love someone so true...

the person stays as part of you... forever...
