"Loml" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department (2024). Written and produced by Swift and Aaron Dessner, it is a soft, melancholic piano-led ballad. The song's lyrics mourn the loss of a short-lived relationship that leaves a long-lasting mark, using extensive imagery related to death such as phantoms, graveyards, and "Holy Ghost". Whereas "Loml" is a popular colloquialism for "love of my life", the conclusion of the song denotes it as "loss of my life".
Music critics generally acclaimed the emotional songwriting with its heart-wrenching lyrics and the simple yet evocative production of "Loml". Several reviews picked the song as an album highlight. The track peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Global 200 and reached the top 20 on charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the Philippines, and the United States. Swift performed the song live three times on the Eras Tour in 2024.
