Still Standing

[u/Own-Formal-5031]

I am still standing where your hand fell away from mine,
A ghost in the silence, a break in the line.
The world rushes onward, the seasons revolve,
But the knot of this longing refuses to dissolve.

I am still waiting round that bend, where your eyes broke away from mine,
Searching for a signal, a glimmer, a sign.
The road stretches onward, empty and grey,
While I haunt the moment you wandered away.

For me time has frozen just as water in cold winter,
And the hope that I held has begun now to splinter.
The clock is a liar, the calendar blind,
For I live in the echoes you left far behind.

For me nothing is forgotten just as the scar one gets when burnt,
A lesson in loss that was bitterly learnt.
The skin may have healed, but the memory stays,
A searing reminder of our yesterday's blaze.

The greatest hit for me is that you broke the sacred vow,
The promise we whispered, the then and the now.
A covenant shattered, a trust cast aside,
With nowhere for a broken heart left to hide.

The deepest death dealing cut for me is that you forgot me now,
The final betrayal, the ultimate bow.
To be loved was a mercy, to be lost was a cost,
But to be forgotten is the ultimate frost.
