Gone

Translucent light through opaque panes Whistles they sound on Westbound trains She can't share the guilt Only I am to blame Murky water Pulled from a spoon Lovelight dimmed Like a bloodred moon The day is done My task is at hand This worry will lessen Like hourglass sand The blame isn't mine Only a shell remains She's broken and bitter Heart filled with pain Flooded eyes pouring Like a springtime rain Body shaking and trembling Hurt still remains Whispers on deaf ears Not giving relief Falling aimlessly Like a wind blown leaf Love that was given Would help with the storm Unfulfilled expectations Became quite the norm Hearts made for breaking Are worn on the sleeve A blooming rose at one time Now only thorns and leaves
