One Lasting Night
Bid me one lasting night
as I clasp my empty hands and ponder
why love is so ephemeral
I pray for your still-beating heart
and the anguished torment that lies within it
the shadows are my constant companion
forever in your bated breath
I mourn for our once love
you’re next to me
at my lonely side
though you are already gone
leaving fresh memories in your wake
