The mark you made,
Seared harrowingly on my heart,
I never imagined we’d ever be apart.
That we’d be forced to part.
The night I had to leave,
I couldn’t say goodbye,
Bound by unforeseen circumstance
That left nothing left to chance.
Agonising hurt,
Replaced the love we shared,
Forbidden to say goodbye,
Though my soul you had ensnared.
The mark you made,
Seared harrowingly on my heart,
I never imagined we’d ever be apart.
That we’d be forced to part.
And though you never came,
My heart still holds high hopes.
Hopes you’ll come knocking
When we’re free of these binding ropes.
But if I see you on the street
With another man.
I’ll wish you all the best,
Though he’ll never give you what I can.
The mark you made,
Seared harrowingly on my heart.
I never imagined we’d ever be apart.
Perhaps one day…. We’ll no longer be apart…
No longer be apart….’
Time stops. Emotions swell as the weight of Ryan’s words force the breath clean out of my chest.
