a fleeting moment
seemingly innocent
as quickly as love comes
love goes
it happens in the blink of an eye
open your eyes too late
and you're gripping onto
the collar of their shirt
onto any last hope
begging them not to leave
a thousand tears shed
all with no meaning
as the next day starts with the sun
oblivious that it is shining
on the darkest of days
as two become one
their voice is forgotten
but the pain in your heart
the knots in your chest
they linger longer
than they are welcome for
