Greener Fields

The love I left behind
             dances inside my head
              my mind
A ballerina in the night

I lie awake till morning light
               music fades
you disappear-- become
                shade of day

My mind in disarray
can not sleep
                or even eat
Since I walked away
                my heart weeps

This expresses a lost love very well - short and sweet.. Only people who have experienced this can relate the pain..
