Echoes of a Lost Love

This poem captures the essence of your experience, focusing on the key themes of trust,

A campus crush, a hesitant gaze,

Election won, in those fleeting days. 

You, a vision, across the hall, 

A fear to speak, a silent thrall.

Instagram found, a bridge to cross,

"Crush on you," a whispered loss.

three forty two kilometers, a daunting plight, 

Yet love persisted, burning bright

Beckoned, a new phase, 

A shared journey, in a love's haze.

A stolen glance, a whispered vow, 

A year of bliss, then a sudden blow.

The hidden phone, a secret's sting,

A shattered trust, a wounded wing.

Lies and deceit, a bitter pill, 

A love betrayed, against its will.

Oxford dreams, put on hold, 

For a love misplaced, a story untold. 

Abuse and anger, a toxic rain, 

A heart in pieces, enduring pain

The betrayal deep, a wound so wide,

A love's demise, where hope died.

A trust eroded, shattered and torn,

Leaving behind, a soul forlorn.

Now shadows linger, doubts remain, 

A fear to connect, to love again. 

The weight of trust, a heavy load, 

A life forever altered, on this lonely road.
