The shift in beloved
It's a punch to the gut,
a sudden blow to the heart,
a shattering of the soul.
When your beloved changes,
it's like the world shifts beneath your feet,
and nothing is as it was before.
You ache for what once was,
for the familiarity of their touch,
for the comfort of their words.
But now there's distance,
a rift that seems insurmountable,
and you wonder how to bridge it.
It hurts to see them different,
to feel like you don't know them anymore,
to feel like you're losing a part of yourself.
But even as you mourn what's been lost,
you hold onto hope,
that maybe, just maybe,
you can find your way back to each other again
