unsending love

Folder: 
2024

 

I unsend my love, carefully, methodically,

Each word, each gesture, drawn back into myself.

The mornings we greeted with warmth,

The evenings we surrendered to the night,

I take them all back, leaving echoes in their place.

 

Your touch, a phantom on my skin,

Your voice, an echo in the silent chambers of my mind.

I unsend my love, undo the shared moments,

The laughter that danced in the air, now silenced,

As memories fade into the quiet night.

 

We were a symphony, now we are silence,

A melody unsent, notes erased from the score.

I unravel the dreams we wove together,

Watch them drift away like autumn leaves,

Carried by the winds of change and time.

 

In the stillness, I unsend my love,

Each heartbeat a step back, away from you.

The promises whispered under starlit skies,

Now mere dust, scattered in the wind,

Unmade vows drifting into the unknown.

 

I unsend my love, a letter never delivered,

Words unsaid, emotions unexpressed.

Our story, once written in the stars,

Now fades into the oblivion of what never was,

A tale untold, a love unsent, forever lost.

 

 

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

A tad dark and of unrequited theme, inspiration from "unending love" by Rabindranath Tagore.
