Broken

Somber days of autumn rain
my heart, a fading flower
corn whiskey drowns my endless pain
beneath my woodland bower

Shadows creep where night begins
as sunlight gently fades away
my sorrowful cries remain within
while restless mind keeps sleep at bay

Sanity takes its wingless flight
amid the hours that slowly turn
reality wanders in shades of night
in waking dreams, your ghost returns

Such a sad and haunting write of lost love Alesia. Your write has such lonely, lovely and heartfelt lines of heartbroken imagery. Just beautiful and truly enjoyed!
