Lovely Romantic Shadows

as the echo dulls into a murmur
and joy ceases to be
in sorrowfull remembrance
I think back upon you,
and me

Recalling the initial triumph,
the victory of winning your heart
and cursing every waking moment,
that warm autumn eve...
It fell apart

I can still picture that dawn that followed
with a shattered soul that would remain
and even now i bear the wound of loss
to bitterly remind this man
that I chose the path of pain
