Lines to love lost
Once we had warmth, now all
I have is cold isolation.
Your smooth skin is now something I can’t touch.
My once innocent soul is now consumed by sin.
All because, for you, I felt too much.
Darkness everywhere, and alcohol-clouded eyes
With their dead hopeless stare, like a cold stagnant pool,
Unable to meet anyone’s gaze - my fighting spirit reduced to sighs.
You forever lost to me, because of my being such a fool.
The smile on your face dispels the sadness within me,
Illuminates it, only for it to return when you’re
gone.
As the sun, it lightens and warms, but passes too quickly,
Leaving my heart a black barren rock where it shone.
To be but once more by your side!
Beauty beyond words, but now fading,
Love without bounds, still remaining.
Many a time I’ve held my pillow and cried.
Then I dream and we are at last re-united:
Within me the same feelings are reignited.
Then I awake and I feel the loss, because you’re gone.
My every thought is you, though we will never be as one.
The way that you made me feel,
Reversed to a pain nothing can heal.
The day I lost you, I will always rue,
And in my heart I shall always love you.
