Heart's Effort

I release you from my heart I set you free from my thoughts I pack away our memories I close the door on the empty room I embrace the silence you once filled I open the window for air, with nothing left to breathe Grasping at blankets to feel warmth while my heart goes cold I never thought of loving anyone else I loved you effortlessly Now, it’s effort not to love you, to stop my heart beating Back against the wall, staring at the door you walked out of, Wondering if you ever planned to stay, Hoping you know I meant every word I ever said with my whole heart. ~ Moon Flower ~
