To where your soul remains
And the promises once made
Haunting regret that time will not erase.
💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔
I do go back to where your soul remains,
The wind still blows your unforgotten tune,
My mind repeats the promises we made.
💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔
Through wakeful nights, my memory in chains
Each visage seems a thousand miles to walk
I do go back to where your soul remains.
💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔
Time has gone past, but my mind disobeys
All things have changed, but my love still deems strong
My mind repeats the promises we made.
💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔
I call your name when my courage does not stay,
Pretend that your embrace was still as strong;
I do go back to where your soul remains.
💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔
Your spirit forms in dreams I can't dissuade,
The morn shakes me up, proving I was wrong;
My mind repeats the promises we made.
💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔
Now my hope feels numb, hopeless and afraid;
And I hum the heartfelt tune you sang;
I do go back to where your soul remains.
My mind repeats the promises we made.
💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔🕊️💔

What an emotionally charged poem, full of such beautifully lingering imagery. I enjoyed this one so much, Michelle.
Very well done!
Wonderful verse and very nice rhythm and rhyme,
Great job Michelle, I love it!
Ah, this one hits deep! Hauntingly beautiful! You’ve got that rhythm of remembrance just right.✨
You've captured quiet grief, Michelle. 🙏
This is so sad and heartbreaking, yet beautifully filled with love. I teared up while reading, thinking of the people I love and might lose one day.
This definitely had that underlying tone of deep sorrow and regret that comes with memories of broken vows to a lost love. Beautifully written.
So beautifully written, Michelle!
Awww, this is both sad and beautiful, Michelle!
You’ve captured the pain of loss and the pull of memory so perfectly. 💔🕊️
Wondrously soulful; adored this deeply.
