Can you come back?
Back...
I miss your old smile, your eyes;
Your every message, and your replies
Can you say those words?
Words...
Your giggles and your sighs
Your handsome smirks and heartfelt 'byes'
Can I say that butter-flies?
Flies...
Finger-promises and those hugs
Your tangy words were my drugs
Can you return one more time?
Time...
Hand in hand—our fantasy was rhyme
You were my lemon I was your lime
Can you at least say 'hi' to her?
HER...
You changed your path—route of your life
Did you tell our stories to your wife?
She listened to you or she held a knife?
Knife...
You Loved again; How was the new sight?
I dreamt it once—Turns out I was right!
Can you read my poem to her or recite?
Recite...
Read my words and it's the end of our Fight!
That night; Despite...

Those repeats gave me goosebumps, so tragic but yet beautifully captivating. 👏🏽🤗♥️
This is kind of heartbreaking but I like the wordplay here. Excellent writing.
Bittersweet memories and the pain of separation. Amazing ✨
Excellent
Beautiful I love this
Ohh! This hits different! Playful, nostalgic, and just the right touch of sass. The wordplay with “lime and lemon” to “knife and life” is fire! Also, yay for thoughts returning from vacay—love the vibes!😊✨
Another gem Maryam. I particularly liked the lines: Your tangy words were my drugs Hand in hand—our fantasy was rhyme You were my lemon I was your lime I love the flow
Maryam I love this very much. Each line so entwined. Such emotion. Very well done!
"You were my lemon I was your lime" "Did you tell our stories to your wife?" These lines were my favourite. Your poem was very relatable!
