Holding On To Lost Love

Time grinds on.

Each heartbeat hurts more than the last.

I don't want the day, the moments, to pass.

Each one takes me farther from you.

***

It seems like the earth should stop turning

since my world has.

Tomorrow seems a cruel place

without you in it.

***

I left my heart in your hand.

Bring it back to me

so that I can see you

just one more time.

About the Creator

Audrey Steele

I'm a math teacher (my apologies to the math-haters out there) but words are actually my jam. Unlike algebra, which has few practical uses, words are a powerful, creative force. They can stir hope and inspire change. They are live-giving.
