Lonely Farewell Dance

and in the shadows sets the amaretto sun- the solitude has ascended and splashes of eventide fade into the ivory glazed moonlight, but I am forsaken and left alone as the forest wood remembers my sorrow. a willow weeps for me- she lends me a branch to wipe the salt running down my cheeks, for she is my salvation tonight, my guard against all that has left me in endless darkness. -it has arrived- desolation’s farewell dance. (I cannot breathe) it resounds in a melody only my shattered soul can comprehend. an aria of regret runs down my nape and I am drowning in spiritual apathy… once again. the night’s sullen blanket envelopes me, but the warmth turns to ice and I bathe in the bitterness of the saturnine sky- forever lost in lonely memories. for you were my cadence... ...now I am dying in rhythmic silence.
