Initials On My Heart

Like a grand tree with engraving without
so to is your love scripted within my heart

Time has shown no mercy for each day
my heart reminds me of the loss

There seems no cure for love which is lost
just endless days and nights of remembrance

How can a love with such perfection and devotion
leave someone so devastated and void of feeling 

A life which was once filled with happiness and
endless colors of beauty has now diminished
into a sepia canvass shadowed with remorse

A smile which came as natural as a breath
is now a labored endeavor at best

If loving you has left me to this shattered existence
then let me love no more...
