You are nothing but an
Aftertaste
Shadow
Echo
A remnant of things lost and things wanted
A shard of hope crushed
Love drowned
You are a memory, an image
You are fleeting, you are silent
Because all we had is gone
And I am left to mourn
Over broken promises and empty words
All alone in my darkness and sorrow
You are nothing; but
You
Are
Everything
