Lament

So very long the time since you've been gone
This lovelorn night a cold moon has reckoned
Into such gloom my wistful heart be drawn
It palls and weeps to woeful skies that beckon

This lovelorn night a cold moon has reckoned
Barren and empty in the vigil of tears
It palls and weeps to woeful skies that beckon
Lamenting mournful prayer on silent deafened ears

Barren and empty in the vigil of tears
Into such gloom my wistful heart be drawn
Lamenting mournful prayer on silent deafened ears
So very long the time since you've been gone

Congratulations Lonna for your win with this wistful, forlorn lament of lost love. Your words really set the scene through nightfall and crestfallen hopes. Impactful pantoum. All the best.
