Outcast..

I once held a place in her eyes,

A spot where love and light would rise.

But now I'm just a fading face,

A memory lost in a forgotten place.

I'm the outcast, no longer dear,

A priority shed, a love that's clear.

I'm left to wander, lost and alone,

A heart that's heavy, a soul that's stone.

In her world, I'm no longer key,

A door that's closed, a lock that's free.

I'm just a whisper of what used to be,

A shadow of love, lost at sea.

But still I hold on to what we had,

A flame that flickers, a heart that's sad.

For in the embers, a spark remains,

An affection that lingers, a heart that still feels the pain.
