Whispers of Longing

I declared my independence, a fortress strong,

"I can thrive, detached from his presence,"

While he, with trembling words, revealed,

"Breath eludes me without you, my dear."

Now, the hands of time have woven a tapestry,

Months stretching like an eternity, laden with despair,

Within me, a suffocating grip takes hold,

For he resides with another, yet she cannot truly be his.

Oh, the weight upon my chest, an oppressive force,

As I navigate this world, gasping for solace,

He, basking in a love that taunts my dreams,

Bound to a girl who can't embrace his essence.

In the fragments of our conversation, echoes remain,

A reminder of what once was, now torn asunder,

I find myself lost in the shadows of longing,

Struggling to breathe in a reality so cruelly unfair."
