Love Died When You Kissed Her

Love Died When You Kissed Her

Love died when you kissed her

the warmth in my chest

frozen in a glance

that wasn’t meant for me

I watched hope slip

through fingers that once held it

your lips on hers

a silent verdict

I could not undo

The air carried your laughter

but it did not reach me

I felt the space

where my heart had lived

collapse quietly

I walked away with nothing

but the echo of what was

and the memory of your touch

that belonged

to someone else

Night came with a quiet rage

stars mocked me with their light

I traced your shadow

on empty streets

and found only mine

Time moves like a thief

stealing the edges of pain

yet every corner of my mind

remembers your kiss

and the death it left behind
