The scent of your hair lingers on my pillow
Reminding me the feel of your skin
When you used to wrap me in your arms
In many sleepless nights back then.
I remember you with utter sadness
Flowing through my veins
Gripping my heart to its recesses
Leaving me choked in my own tears.
I am holding on to that tiny thread of memory
As I struggle to keep my sanity
I hope one day I will wake up from this agony
Completely healed of this misery.
