What Was Never (trilogy)
I would really appreciate it if anyone can give a feedback or criticism for my work. It’s the first time that i wrote something like this and i just wanna know if it works. Thank you!!

What Was Never
The last night, the last goodbye,
voice cracking, we said a lie.
The last kiss, last time we’ll float,
wet eyes, with a lump in our throat.
You said sorry, I said I know,
It’s too late now, I’ll let you go.
You’ll forget me, and my shadow,
Golden mark, that will never glow.
Our version was never written,
A chance we were never given.
A book that wasn’t published,
A feeling that brought us anguish.
Maybe in another timeline,
No more holding on a lifeline.
Another story, a happy ending,
No more hiding, never pretending.

The Regret Of What Was Never
The look in your eyes, hoping that we could happen,
The kiss of goodbye that pulled us down from heaven.
Was it regrets of letting feelings get deeper,
Or regrets of not fighting for each other?
Unspoken words, not a trace of any lies,
pain of knowing we didn’t get to roll the dice.
a lesson to never fly close to the fire,
Fear of knowing that we can never fly higher.
The greatest love story that was never told,
Something true that we will forever hold.
Like air that we can feel but can never touch,
Held our breath underwater till it was too much.
A brief moment that could’ve been forever,
The golden mark that serves as a reminder.
Like a tattoo that will forever linger,
With every regret of what was never.

What Was After
Days have passed, and will a thousand more,
Will i forget when we locked the door?
What was never, we’ll try to ignore,
The great escape, but what is it for?
Love letters sent, now burnt to ashes,
None to blame, we both lit the matches.
Secret garden we burnt to the ground,
No evidence of what went around.
Every night I dream of that moment,
Blood rushing, warm kiss of fulfillment.
Now left with remnants of what we’ve seen,
All the what if’s and what could’ve been.
Our promises now covered in dust,
Meant to be forgotten and to rust.
We both know it’s all for the better,
Just pick up pieces of what was after.
