Though I yearn for her day and night, I must let go,

A lifetime's worth of memories and accept reality.

That you're not mine, not anymore,

Still, I refuse to oblige. Verily, there's no encore.


When you held me tight, I cried, and cried, and cried,

Only this time, I weep without you late at night.

It felt like I was dead before—that you gave me life,

Yet, It's hard not to call you and make you do it twice.


Since then, I've lived inside a tinge of blue,

Knowing that I can't let myself keep hurting you.

We just couldn't see it through—As I sit here and write,

Lonely in these cold nights, reminiscing the time I felt alive.


The feelings we've had, and the words we spoke,

Pierced deeply like a knife to my throat.

Still, I love this distorted yet comforting feeling,

Now I'm too busy sharing thoughts with the ceiling.


What could've been a happy ending turned to tragedy,

But, none was ever close to our bittersweet melody.

Our story was my favorite route of evanescence,

So I say this, I love you, my one and only empress.
