Gervic's Poetic Explorations

Love Ends

Each night, tears drip hastily down from my eyes
Interrogations crowded my mind, these unanswered whys.
We have been together for almost half a decade
Then in an instant, you confessed that your feelings fade.

Days and nights, I found myself contemplating
On what I've done wrong to deserve this feeling.
I've been faithful to you since the day we've met
Oh I've loved you, how could you forget?

Did you find someone else who cares you more?
Someone who will always have an open door
When he knows what secret that you've been hiding
Truth that in four years, I have been heeding.

I've endured those days that you've gone away
To a distant place during my darkest day.
I've always forgiven you for your lame alibis
And just let them drift away with my thousand sighs.

Perhaps, now is the time for me to say farewell
Despite this pain, I still wish you're always well.
My love for you is now put to an end.
I just don't know how long my heartaches mend.




In the Ruins of Us, Rewrite

Each night, a salted tide engulfs my sight,
Whispers of "why?" drown out the moon's pale light.
Five years, a tapestry we wove with hands entwined,
Now threads unravel, love's fabric left behind.

Days crawl, nights fester, in this labyrinth of doubt,
Where shadows twist and turn, my worth consumed by drought.
Faithful through seasons, a constant by your side,
Yet your confessing breath tore hope's frail tendrils wide.

Do greener pastures tempt, a softer heart to roam?
An open door where whispers find a welcome home?
Secrets you held, hidden beneath your gaze,
Forging truths I guarded through our sunlit days.

I carried burdens, your absences like scars,
In darkest hours, my love the lighthouse through the spars.
Alibi whispers drowned in sighs, unfurled like sail,
But now the anchor breaks, adrift upon the gale.

Letting go, a bitter fruit upon my tongue,
Aching with farewell, though freedom's song is sung.
My love, once boundless, shrinks to embers frail,
How long till time mends this heartbreak's endless trail?
