I’ll hazard a guess,
And I’ll assume, that
I no longer occupy a space
In that strange heart of yours.
I’d be surprised to learn
That you still think of me
Fondly, with ghosts of emotion,
From time to time.

More surprising however,
Is that after all this time
My heart still lurches
With the shadow of love,
Of love, pain and regret.
Memories still pierce,
Like daggers laced with poison.
Old angers still stir, faded laughter
Brings the curve of a smile
To lips that still tremble for you.

Strange and surprising.
I find it rather pathetic though,
That you have found love again
With another and I sit here:
Wishing for love, regretting love,
Missing love and knowing
It is a magic I shall not experience
Anytime soon.
