Regrets linger heavily, 

There are long shadows cast,

Love’s flame extinguished, 

There’s no chance we’ll last.

 

In fervent haste,

I bade us a final adieu.

Hopelessly, passionlessly 

I forgot how to love you

 

There was an absence of heart, 

a chasm so wide,

We stood naked and adrift, 

In love's ebbing tide.

 

Our love slipped away, 

Like the timers falling sand,

I failed to fully appreciate, 

Or even barely understand.

 

There were moments when love

Marooned and unattended,

Two hearts turned cold 

Love's spark finally ended,

 

A painful situation, 

Unrequited love left behind,

I feel utterly empty, 

Memories slowly unwind.

 

There’s a deathly pallor'd silence.

Lessons untouched, unlearned

Warming ardent desire

Tending hearts that yearned

 

I will never forget,

Melancholic love, sad blue

Our world disintegrated, because

I forgot how to love you
