When Love Is Lost

The loss of love is far beyond love's means And tomorrow will see the end come true To know depth of sorrow when it convenes When light changes color to deeper blue To bow their heads in open palms and cry As painful dark begins the day now new Love's last memory fades away to die And hearts now bleeding hide from times it knew This love once sworn, is now of colder mind Desire dissolves, leaving a vanquished shell Neither clings to fragments still left behind They'll search for springs to fill their empty well The passing of their moment won't be crossed And the bond between their hearts shall be lost

This is my kind of sonnet. "And tomorrow will see the end come true To know depth of sorrow when it convenes When light changes color to deeper blue" I've lived this and that end was bad but the new start afterward became fantastic.
