is life worth living when your lover is gone?
i wouldn’t know
i’ve heard it feels like an indescribable emptiness, a tearing of the heart
like holding your breath and never being told to stop
like the nagging feeling of being frozen in time
the questions of when will it end and will i survive
is life worth living when your lover is gone?
i wouldn’t know
i’ve heard it looks like
red rimmed eyes and a chaotic mind
a constant battle with memories left behind
shaky hands and gasping breaths
frozen lips lacking true loves kiss
is life worth living when your lover is gone?
i would know
it’s all consuming, never ending
a continuous cycle of forgetting and remembering- their smile, their eyes, the way we laughed till we cried, the longing looks we shared
so much spoken, nothing to hide
it was raw, it was real, a love outside of time and yet our forever now prevented when “i love you” was your last goodbye
so i ask you, is life worth living when your lover is gone?
no, it is not living at all
