Love Forgotten

Shadows cast over an empty lot
My light is gone
Covered by the gray fog of death

I saw your love for me die
like the petals of a wilting rose
decomposing in the ground

Our love was a puddle 
Now dried up by the burning sun 
Evaporated by the long days of a loveless summer
 
The crimson color of love forgotten
Soaking the feathers of the white dove
Perching on your ebony heart
