Day Twenty-eight - Jordan

No prompt.

I never knew you were there

just a ghost in my thoughts

and yet you were real

and then you were gone.

now a ghost in my heart

and a hole in my soul;

pain to last a lifetime,

like the loss of the love

that was once your legacy.

a fleeting presence,

you were both a gift

and my punishment.

proof that I had a love

that was, for a moment, true

and then taken from me

like you were, without a sound,

without a notion,

without a clue.

daily, I will relive

the heartache.

daily, I will mourn

and cry in pain

to the gods

wondering why I’m still here

to deal with all

you’ve left behind.

like the loss of the love

that was once your legacy

you are mine to mourn

to miss

to regret
