Love-Shell

By Sumaiyya

I've tried so hard not to give you up, to hold on to the precious little that remains of us but I've run out o reasons, of love

I can not bear to see you sad, to let the tear fall, wet those cheeks that have been home for so long, but I can no longer lift my hand, I've run out of energy, of love

I can feel your heartbeat yet echoing through me, our first hug nestled in our last, I know I should

not remove my arms from around you, but I've run out of strength, of love

the echoes of our silences, differences fill my heart, my head my soul, no space left

for love, for you

I'm a shell of used to-be's, I've been mesmerised by this

pain, I've run out of love.
