CHAPTERS WITHOUT YOU

Sometimes it's hard to turn the pages, Because you know they will not be in the next chapter, Their voice,a vanished melody in the depths of your heart, Their smile,a light you will not get to see even in the darkest of days, Their laughter,a warmth left unsaid, You hold onto the memories,with trembling hands, Erasing their presence ,with each new dawn, Where shared glances scribbled love, Too cruel for your fragile heart to still remember, Yet in the cold lines of living you still find your way, What do you do when the story must go on? But the characters you love,have stepped off the stage, Leaving you to write a chapter on your own,in a way you don't know how, But what if that is not the end of love? what it It's a quiet proof that something mattered,that someone mattered, So you turn the page, Not because you are ready, But because your heart insists, Even when love feels left unsaid, You still have to soldier on, Carry their names though,in the depths of your lonely soul, They will fade in time,like quiet goodbyes, Let your tears speak your silence, For even if they are gone from the storyline, They helped you write the language of who you are,
