Love's Death

A simple poem from long ago I came to you on Winter's day And tried to take the pain away With tenderness and warm desire I tried to light an ashen fire But, you were cold to my embrace Your empty heart an empty space Each day I felt its chill again From darker storm that's moving in I've seen the sun, watched it fall Heard the sound when a heart grew small When love has gone, left no trace Yesterdays were another place I live with shadows at my side And stay in darkness, where they hide I'll cross the bridge where love divides To still my heart, for love has died
