Finding a New Love

"The saddest thing about love is that not only the love cannot last forever, but even the heartbreak is soon forgotten." – William Faulkner

You cannot be my love, for you have gone 
To far-off lands, there just on the other side
Of the horizon, bleak and dark.  Now our love, 
Like the sinking sun, turning gold to red, 
Only to disperse into a cataclysmic dark.  
There's a deep loneliness that spreads like venom 
Into my very soul; but there is courage, too.
For will not the dying sun dawn up again next morn?
 
I harbour hope for a new love; the tide will turn again
A new life begins.  The waning sun turns to fiery gold.
