~¬~ Poem by Pranesh Varan

Teach me to stop caring
when i think of what we were
show me how to live again
when you're not here with me

tell me i'll be all right
without you by my side
to be held by you each day
let me hold you in my arms
this one last time
before these teardrops swell my heart

she was my wall of glass
mirroring all my thoughts
a part of me that i now have lost
i gave her love, i gave her time
i gave her space and all that i can

no uttered words, no skies of purple hue
or tales of unrequited love
for they were all lost when i lost you
a wall of glass, that lies shattered now
and yet reflecting an image that once stole my heart!
