Forgotten Nights

A love that haunts

I remember you on that night,
My mind swirling in a dizzying flight.
Memories shattered under our feet,
Naked, wounded, broken, incomplete.

You haunt my dreams every single night,
A love that clings to me with all its might.
The memories occupy my mind’s space,
A sea of emotions I cannot erase.

When I write about you, it’s like setting sail,
The paper becomes a sea, my pen a boat without fail.
Lost in adoration, on the ridge of your sharp eyes,
I remember you on that night, my heart in disguise.

Your love was a pillow, covered in memories so dear,
But your time was an eternal curse, a constant fear.
Thousands of doubts needles prick my feelings,
Tearing apart my body, their sharp stings revealing.

I declare my refusal to submit,
Playing chess with my emotions, I refuse to quit.
I drown in your night, a dying star,
Swimming in your sea, a free love fish so far.
