Love's Lament
Love still laments
when it was charred into ash
Then left to fill the imprint
of yesterday's tracks still frozen in my mind
When the heart of my soul was thrown into darkness
to wander, unwillingly
in a forsaken mist of perpetual pain
searching the abandoned brambles of reason
that scarred my flesh
still wet from vacant eyes that once held love
before its blood spilled upon the sacred floor of trust
staining it for eternity
Where my soul lingers to collect all its pieces
before they are carried away by windblown, desolate days
that have deserted tomorrow
Where nothing will exist but memories
that will cross a lonely sky, leaving a trail
Burned and etched into my empty eyes
