Passing Away Poem by Azarok Koraza

It was not so long ago

when I thought I'd never meet someone like you.

Wrong was I, thinking I'm in control

Believing I'd never fall.

All my life I thought no one would

melt a heart like mine, a heart so cold,

a heart hardened by the past,

protected by shields so vast.

Slowly I was falling

without even knowing.

Only to find out too late

I have no choice but to accept my fate.

I could dream, I suppose

forever, I could hope

there will never be any 'us', that's our destiny

so I wake up to reality.

I lied when I said

I didn't love you,

that my feelings for you

are through.

I lied

not because I wanted to

but because I love you

and I still do.

I wouldn't do a thing to hurt you

but I just have to let go.

I can't hold on much longer

'coz for us there's no forever.
