Why? ? ? ? Poem by Lisa AT

A sadness lingers, since the day you left
A heartache that persists, a wound that won't rest
I tried to forget, to unlove and move on
But your memory stays, and my heart remains strong
I hoped for your return, a changed man, true
Despite the hurt you caused, my love for you shines through
I yearn for your love, with all of my heart
But I know I shouldn't wait, we're worlds apart
Why do I hold on, to the promises you made?
Why do I still believe, that you'll come back to stay?
You said I had your heart, forever and always
But your actions spoke louder, and left me with these tears to sway
I miss you so dearly, it's hard to conceal
The ache within my soul, the longing that's real
I try to hide my feelings, but they still remain
A constant reminder, of the love we couldn't sustain
Why do I expect, your return to make things right?
Why do I hold on to hope, through the dark of night?
It hurts to miss you, to feel incomplete
But still, my heart holds on, to the love we used to meet.
