Afterlove

the love is gone
yet we’re still here
we can’t go back
nor can we move on
we had something
yet it was too vague to carry forward
like a mourning period after a sudden death
like a cloudy late afternoon after the rain
when the sun is no where within sight
we no longer own each other
yet we’re not ready to be free again
we stood still
while the world moves forward
we’re merely two people
trapped forever in an afterlove
