Unfinished Novel

By Nazrio Juoanna Alvinkaruna

Our love is an unfinished novel,

Maybe sometimes even like a closed tunnel,

I can't walk away while I'm still in love,

Heart still clinging to the pieces left behind,

Like they say, your heart is the last one to leave the fight,

Despair fills my thoughts in the silence of the night,

There is no hug I can endure,

No soothing voice to reassure,

Yet, I hold onto every broken piece I can find,

Wanting our hands to just be entwined,

These emotions it's destroying me,

Pulling at my deepest thoughts, gnawing away the bits of hope I have,

Left alone, when you said you wouldn't,

It's funny how people change within a moment,

Recreating the scenes of how we departed in disagreement,

Our love stays incomplete,

Like an unfinished novel.
