Forgotten Love Poem by kirsten simons

I can’t describe the pain
The never-ending heartbreak
The little bit I die every time I see you
Hear your name

Everything reminds me of you
The music I used to escape to
Is now my personal hell

The pictures I used to worship
Are now painful recollections of love.

It’s like a fire I can’t control
Burning hotter and hotter,
Until it dies on a cold winter night

Your voice used to be my bliss in sleep
Now it narrates my nightmares

Your kiss
So soft, so sweet
Now burns my lips in its perfection

You were the air I breathe
And now you choke me with your lesser love

If only you knew
If only I could take it all back

The mistakes I made in my ignorance
Sorry isn’t a strong enough word to describe how I feel

For hurting the one person who would never cause me harm
Is the greatest sin of them all
