The 17 Hours of Misery

As the moonlight wanes, my heart aches in despair,

For the love that once bloomed, now seems beyond repair,

For 17 hours, my world turned dark and blue,

As my girlfriend's love faded, and I lost my clue.

Her eyes that once sparkled with affection's grace,

Now coldly glance at me with distant, vacant space,

Her voice, once sweet with love's tender flame,

Now calls me by my name, devoid of endearing claim.

The hours dragged on, like endless moments of pain,

Each second a reminder of love's cruel refrain,

Her touch, once a caress that set my soul ablaze,

Now feels like an icy grip, lost in love's maze.

Her smiles that once lit up my life's every mile,

Now carry a distant smirk, devoid of that old style,

Her laughter, once a symphony that filled my heart,

Now sounds like a distant echo, tearing me apart.

The days grew long, as the sun rose and set,

But my heart was gripped by a love I couldn't forget,

For 17 hours, I lived in a world of torment,

As my girlfriend's love faded, and I struggled to prevent.

I tried to hold on, to salvage what we had,

To rekindle the flame that once made us glad,

But fate had its way, and love slipped from my grasp,

Leaving me in darkness, with a heavy heart's clasp.

And so, my love story ended with a bitter sting,

As I faced the truth that love can sometimes bring,

For 17 hours, I felt the pain of a love lost,

As my girlfriend stopped loving me, at such a high cost.

Now I'm left with memories, of a love that's past,

A love that faded, too beautiful to last,

But I'll treasure the moments, the love we once knew,

For 17 hours of misery, and a heart that still loves you.
