Love Still Laments

Love still laments, when it was charred into ash and left to fill the imprints of yesterday's footprints leaving no tracks to follow As a soul's heart is thrown into the Cimmerian shade wandering, unwillingly in forsaken mists of perpetual pain searching through abandoned brambled reasons...which scar the flesh still wet from vacant hands which held this love before its blood spilled upon the sacred floor of trust, staining it for eternity The soul lingers to collect its pieces before they are carried away with the windblown desolate days that have deserted tomorrow where nothing exists...but memories that cross the night sky, leaving an etched trail burned into the hollow eyes of loneliness 3/10/19
