The Me After You

The Me After You
A fragile heart, still beating strong,
A soul that's shattered, yet still sings its song.
I thought I'd be stronger, but I'm not,
My soul crumbles at the sight of you.

I'm still in love with the fragments of you,
The moments we shared, the hopes we once pursued.
My love is a flame that flickers with every thought,
A bittersweet reminder of what could never be brought.

In your absence, I'm consumed by the fire,
Every memory of you, a spark that fuels my desire.
My soul is a wildfire, raging out of control,
But your memory whispers a gentle breeze, stirring my soul.

The me after you is a vulnerable soul,
A heart exposed, a love that's whole, yet incomplete.
I'm still learning to let go, to move on,
But for now, I'm stuck in this love that's gone.
