A Funeral for Our Love (2025)

I speak your name like it’s a crime,
Slow and heavy on my tongue.
Every word I never said
Now weighs more than what I’ve done.
The walls remember how we breathed,
Before love learned the taste of blood.
I stayed too long inside your ghost,
I loved you more than I should.

This isn’t rage.
This isn’t hate.
This is what remains
When love outlives its grave.


I am still calling you through the night,
Through the dirt, through the ruin, through the pain.
I am still buried in what we were.
This is a funeral for our love,
Still breathing under the weight of us.
I won’t be saved, I won’t let go,
I made a home inside your loss.


I prayed for silence, not for peace.
Peace never wanted me.
I learned devotion isn’t holy
When it hurts eternally.
Your absence sings in minor keys,
A hymn carved into bone.
If love is light, then why am I
Still kneeling in its shadow alone?


You said forever like a promise,
But forever doesn’t bleed like this.


I am still calling you through the night,
Where every memory screams your name.
I am the echo that stayed behind.
This is a funeral for our love,
No resurrection, no above.
I carry you like a holy wound,
A sacred grief I won’t outgrow.


Lower the coffin.
Lower the light.
Lower my heart into the night.
Say the words that end us clean.
I won’t believe them.
I never did.


If love must die, let it be slow,
Let it know how deeply it was known.
If this is loss, then let it stay.
This is a funeral for our love,
And I will mourn it until I’m gone.
