The Art of Losing

Losing
 It’s easy
 It slips between your fingers in light-years
 And disappears into the abyss 
 
 Denying
 Your biggest fear triggers tears
 The most silent cry known to Man
 Nothing in your life will be the same again
 
 Regretting
 “I should’ve”
 “I could’ve”
 But you didn’t 
 You build self-hatred because of it
 
 Anger
 Is it towards you, him, or the world?
 Admit it, you are ashamed
 Guilt flows in your veins
 Body in constant pain
 
 Detachment
 Under the sun, the rain and between winds
 You search for him everywhere
 But he has been ashes for over a year
 
 Negotiating
 Asking the skies for a second chance
 Begging to reclaim the one you love so much
 Simply because you miss his touch 
 
 Accepting
 Knowing that he left you
 Understanding that he isn’t there anymore
 Questioning the reality that he’s deceased
 Checking your messages to see if he’ll respond

 Love
 Is eternal
 Just like his absence
 Missing him constantly
 As he took a piece of your heart for eternity
 
 Love
 Is smiling when your lips kiss his name as it slips between them
 It’s the feeling of comfort from having him on your chest
 It’s the permanent space you left on your skin for him 
 
 Love
 It’s a sob that gets stuck in your throat
 Because you thought you moved on to other things
 But real and profound love never ends
 It stays engraved in your heart until the end
