Forsaken

2025-03-26 · free-verse · evergreen

I have forsaken my passion, and my passion has forsaken me.

I grieve, but my tears fail to fall.

I've given up, yet my body continues to move.

This silent body houses a screaming soul.

My skin is warm, yet I cannot stop shivering.

My heart races, but my hands remain still.

Surrounded by love— that fails to surround me.
