TRAGIC Poem: Echoes from the heart, by Makayla Shaw

I don’t know if I’m still in love
It doesn’t feel the way it used to,
Like fire bright and wild within,
Now the embers fade to blue.

I search for warmth, but all is still,
As if we’re shadows in the light.
We touch, but it’s like touching glass
The surface clear, and cold to the touch

I don’t know if I’m still in love,
For time has softened every spark.
The way we used to burn so bright,
Now feels like walking in the dark.

Your voice, once thunder in my chest,
Is now the whisper of the rain.
I don’t know if I’m still in love
Or just afraid it’ll never feel the same again

I linger on the edge of us,
Now I breath in memories that feel so wrong,
as they weave and fade leaving me raw
Each glance a question, unanswered still,
A haunting echo of what was once bliss

I don’t know if I’m still in love
With every heartbeat, doubt intertwines,
As time slips through like the tears down my face
