pavement

I'll fixate my eyes in your direction with self-reflections

Torture the thought of caressing your palm with my thumb

Discreetly lean to catch a glance of a unattainable affection

Further behind my eyes, I fall into misdirections

Passing through this dark hallway

I find myself falling for an apparition

Of a light

Of misinterpreted promises

Found it's way to my heart

Even with you missing in my future

Your life will still give me warmth

Stumbling down the stairs

With the rough taste of concrete

All the romance led to my defeat

Passing the torch to the next broken soul

The bittersweet ache in my chest is no longer valuable

Your dimming love on my heart will forever be my staple
