A Complete Life You Gave

The morn began dolorous as I awoke from an empty bed. As I flounder to the lavender fields for some sort of comfort, I realize you will never… be in my arms again. A neophyte was I when we first met. You were my providence; my reason for inhaling the sangria sunset at eventide. I began to smolder you with the burning embers I fought so long to relieve my soul from. Fumes from my lecherous demons bestowed unto you fear at dusk. But you loved me no matter the daily scars I wore, and you spoke of their beauty at night. I showed no inhibition before you died- released not the pain of losing you as I wander into the forest of willows weeping. My tissues of regret swayed in the breeze as if I were in a tempest fleeting with thoughts of how my love never did die with you. For you are my stardust at midnight- my Capricorn always longing to touch me. After you perished, my mind began to bombast my soul with all the vows we spoke under crimson leaves falling. For Autumn was our season; our time to remember the goodness we carried within the one spirit we shared. I shall never love again, my sweet- for you have given me a life complete. May 30, 2019
