Poetry

Oceans apart

Elvita Fernandes

I am not worth love
I will never be enough
I will never matter
A void I cannot fill
Even if I tried

And then you walked into my life
Like a rainbow after a storm
You gave me hope
You made me smile
You tried to heal me

And so, I held on
for as long as I could
Cause you made me feel
Like I was worth all the love
Like I was enough
Like I mattered
Like I meant the world to you

But oh, what a fool I was
To believe
That I could be your moon
On a dark night
The same way
You became my sunshine
After a dull and gloomy day

Now I sit here
Looking up to the sky
In the hope
That the moon and stars might tell you
Our secret little conversations
Of how much I miss us

But slowly I realised
You aren’t coming back
And now again
I am all by myself
Right at the start thinking

I am not worth love
I will never be enough
I will never matter
A void I cannot fill
Even if I tried

You were supposed to be there for me
But you left
Not physically, But mentally
And emotionally
We became oceans apart
