The Return

Promises made on the day he did depart. After a long wait in hell. When his feet touched familar soil they'd make a new start. But time is a empty partner indeed. Nights turned to endless hours. And in a moment of weekness she did concede. With time and regret so we do learn. He saw no one waitting. On the day of his return. So many happy smilling faces none he did know. Just strangers in another life. He just a extra in the background of this traggic show. He knew the adress but couldnt reconize the place. many storms had passed. But haunted was the look apon her face. Tears and regret over what she had and for what she did yern. Victems of time tears but not of joy. Shed apon this sudden return. Deep within the eyes thoose old feelings almost did shine through. A confession in pain.When she waved farewell it was already threw. A leason of emptyness two former lovers did learn. Passion like any flame dies. Leaving only smoke and darkness to greet you apon your return.
