A Year After You Poem by John Paul Ang

A year after you and everything seemed so fine
The tears shed all those time was all mine
I wanted to blame you for everything that had been
And for all the deception and lies I've seen.

The memories of a past that I long to forget,
Are all filled with subtleties and dire regrets
All those thoughts that I longed to erase
remnants of a glorious love fallen from grace

Somehow I still seek your touch, I seek your taste
Reminiscing the times we spent on that special place
Somewhere where time does not pass nor flow
A part of space wrapped in a warm ambient glow

It felt like nothing on earth will supersede
the honest and pure emotions you received
Neither heaven nor Hell could grasp my sympathy
While I exist through this prevalent insanity

A year of constant illusion and depravity
I must admit, nothing is really fine in this fake reality
Born out of hate, from 365 days of anger
Rage that will constantly linger.

A year after you, A lifetime behind me
I don't desire to look forward and set myself free
For I have lived in my past for too long
I dare to bind myself to that promise, even if it's wrong.

..But I will not completely close this heart
It may still be possible for a new start
I just wish that someday I could wake up
and forget this false life I made up.

A year after you
All my dreams made untrue
A year after you
To try and forget you, I will surely do.
