Ring of Fire

It was a song that always reminded me of you. A true testament to love, I fell so hard so fast. It was a blur of dreams mixed together as one singular memory. As the time went by the memory faded and I was left with pain and torment. It's hard for me to believe that I ever loved you like I did. I had never felt anything so powerful and after all this time I feel that I might never again. Upon waking you were my last thought and first memory. All I wanted then was to spend forever with you. Johnny Cash's voice fell through the speakers today, singing that song that brings feeling to that empty place that you left in my heart that place that will remain vacant for the years to come. A bitter sweet symphony. You are still living your life in the roses, in our old room, you probably barely remember my existence. In the same way life is beautiful it is also cruel at the same time. You should be out of my mind and heart. Something keeps you there, keeps the space empty. I just continue to move forward.I gave the small piece you left intact to a liar in the desert, the shattering of that dream created more empty space. Ive spent the last many months carefully building the walls around the abyss in my heart so it won't be as vulnerable. My own collapsed ring of fire.
