What's Left

Our Joy a faint memory
Was it even real?

Can’t let go
Gradual let down

Slowly we revert and heal

Facing the truth
A growing divide

Waiting, Pushing, Striving
Futile, Too Far

Changing, Retaining

Regret

Succumbing to temptation
Disgust, Disillusion

Painful words
Pour cement into the wounds
Sealing the fate of what once was

Despite it all,
I hesitate, but

I’m still trying.
