My love cannot be replaced.
You will search for me in every girl you meet.
You’ll see my face, but never hear my voice,
You’ll whisper my name, but it won’t feel the same.
No warmth within another’s embrace, no spark when you kiss her face,
No one else will hold your gaze or light your soul in quite the same blaze.
You’ll scour every corner of God’s earth, but you won’t find me.
You may try to erase me from your mind, but I’ll linger,
Like the scent of a flame long gone.
There will be a hollow in your chest; so raw, so unforgiving,
Where my love used to live, echoing in your silence.
You won’t meet another’s eyes without seeing mine,
You won’t say “I love you” without memories of me clawing its way through the silence.
I am irreplaceable but your ego let that go unnoticed.
I meant more than you ever let on,
Your pride, your wilful ignorance,
They cost you the only girl worth fighting for.
So go and seek another who might spark the same fire,
But she won’t.
She won’t be me, won’t carry the flames that ignited a fire within your heart and soul,
Fuelled by a love so fierce it burned you whole.
The same flames that drew you back over and over again
They no longer exist.
But before your ego soars to the highest of heavens,
Remember the all those nights you begged to be mine again.
Remember your pathetic trembling, breaking, and pleading
And most importantly; remember to humble yourself.
