Love's Eternal Death Premiere Contest Winner

The hollow eyes of love are never gone They keep within the waves of trembled tears From days so poor when love was looked upon And one where the deepest pain adheres They give my eyes of love such sad refrain To think that love would ever be so cruel And find it was illusion self-contain When love so grand became so minuscule To hold love once in dreamer's mind I've flown And found the point of rest its final breath To know I will forever be alone Cry now as then for its eternal death I found a love to hold and saw it die Inside depth of darkest pain, I ask why 7/29/17
