I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,
Like a river seeking its course, you flowed away,
Through fingers intertwined, slipping beyond my grasp,
Leaving me with echoes of your laughter,
Echoes of your love.
I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,
In the quiet of the night, your absence echoes,
A hollow space where your warmth once lingered,
Memories etched in the crevices of my heart,
Whispering secrets of what we once shared.
I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,
Time moves forward, carrying me along,
While I remain anchored in the past we built together,
A fragile tapestry now frayed and worn,
Threads of love intertwined with threads of pain.
I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,
The walls I built are crumbling,
Cracks spreading like veins on old marble,
And I am left standing in the rubble,
Holding onto shards of what once was.
I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,
I realize now that love cannot be contained,
It is a force that must be free,
To grow, to change, to find its own path,
Even if it means letting go.
I have bended will around to keep you in my life but,
In the letting go, I find strength,
In the release, I find peace,
And in the echoes of your absence,
I find the space to breathe again.
