love laid to rest

The new month is here, and with it, I've shed  

The weight of a longing that once filled my head.  

November whispers softly, a chill in the air,  

I’ve left my love for you no longer a snare.  

I’ve wandered the echoes of memories past,  

Each heartbeat a ghost, a shadow I cast.  

Yet here in the silence, I've chosen to part,  

From dreams that once nestled so close to my heart.  

No longer a crush, just a lesson learned well,  

I’ll honor the moments, but bid them farewell.  

As candles flicker and shadows grow long,  

I’m free from the ties that once felt so strong.  

So here’s to the days, both the bitter and sweet,  

To the love that has faded, to the end of defeat.  

With each passing hour, I reclaim my own name,  

As November arrives, I let go of the flame.
