Abandonment

The Bitterness of Abandonment

Flows Most Forcefully in Memories

 The Hope Endures during the Longing Journey

 Leaving No Time But For The Present

 Lost For Good

The Inner Compass Fatefully Broken 

The Bond Never to Be Sealed

 Cast Out Amongst the Unforgiven Seas

Only Love 

Sweet Love
