Lingering past

Published 2025-06-06 09:30

A Shakespearian sonnet about a feeling that used to be. 

 

I turn around, not feeling you by my side

Underneath these thoughts I succumb

In my future I’ve seen me as your bride

These memories that leave my spirit numb

I know our love didn't feel like a joyride

More storm than peace, more truth than sweet delight

Yet still I held you, even when you lied

And dreamed of us beneath the quiet night

The past still lingers, carved in silent stone,

But time can’t erase what once was fierce and true

Though now I walk this aching path alone

My heart still beats to echoes born of you.

So let me rest where broken hearts still hide

At least in my dreams, I lie close by your side.
