There is this...

Profound loneliness 

That burns in my chest

When I think of you

 

I have no 

Cognative memories 

I do have physical memories 

Of that year

We spent together 

 

I had so much 

To give to you

So filled with love

Only for you 

 

You say it hurts

The walls I've built

The distance I keep

The words I say 

To keep you at bay

 

But you hurt me first

You broke my heart

And destroyed a bond 

Created for a mother and daughter 

 

I don't hate you

Please know that

But I can't 

Let myself know you
