I Loved You in the Past Tense Now

A cycle of poems «The Last Letter I Burned Was My Own»

Fading echoes of your name,
Burning slow, a dying flame.

Once was ours, now only doubt,
Love’s last whisper fading out.

I loved you in the past tense now,
No future left to disavow.
Memories break, but I don’t know how,
I loved you in the past tense now.

Shattered dreams and silent cries,
Truth reflected in your eyes.
What we had has slipped away,
Like a ghost that could not stay.

Once was ours, now only doubt,
Love’s last whisper fading out.

I loved you in the past tense now,
No future left to disavow.
Memories break, but I don’t know how,
I loved you in the past tense now.

All the words we left unsaid,
Haunt the nights inside my head.
Time won’t heal what we have lost,
Only shows the brutal cost.

In the shadows of goodbye,
Lies the truth we can’t deny.
I loved you once, but it’s gone somehow,
I loved you in the past tense now.

Fading echoes of your name,
Love’s last embers in the flame.
