Chapter 5 - "Longing and Heartbreak" ("Moments Suspended in Time: Part 1")

My heart is shattered, my soul in despair

Lost in the memories of a love so rare

I can't go on living like this every day

My lover's absence is driving me astray

I remember the days when we strolled hand in hand

Walking down the streets of our promised land

But now those streets are empty and cold

And I'm left with a story left untold

I see her in my dreams, so beautiful and bright

A beacon of hope shining through the night

But in the morning, she's gone, like a fleeting bird

Leaving me alone to face the absurd

I'm burning with passion for a girl I can't have

And it's driving me insane, making me mad

My heart is shattered, my soul in despair

And all I can do is to say a prayer

If it hadn't dawned, I wish she had stayed

By my side last night, not fading away

But fate had other plans, it seems

And now I'm left with shattered dreams

Forget me, I miss you, the words that I write

Trying to make sense of this endless night

But it's all in vain, my heart still bleeds

For the love that I lost, for the dreams that I need

What will I do when the pain takes over?

When the memories haunt me like a lover?

I'll close my eyes and I'll breathe deep

Hoping that one day, my heart will heal and leap

But until then, I'll hold on to the pain

And to the memories that still remain

I'll write my poems, full of sadness and woe

Hoping that someday, I'll let you go.

I wrote a poem, the lines were wounded by pain

You don't believe, every word was full of sadness

I wrote it awake at night with tears in my eyes

A thousand times before I wrote, longing was in my eyes

My heart is broken, my spirit is weak

But I'll keep on writing, trying to find the words I seek

For love is a mystery, a puzzle to solve

And I'll keep on searching, until my heart can evolve.

In the end, all I can do is to hope

That someday, I'll find the strength to cope

And maybe, just maybe, I'll find a new love

A love that will fit me like a glove.
