~Forgotten~
You abandoned our love
in the dead of night.
Left me alone in the darkness
to search for the light.
Alone to cry the the
silent tears no one else
hears. Into this soul they
fall like rain into
a deep well.
a soul reached out to you
from the darkness needing
your touch and comfort only
to find you were no longer
there.
A tender soul left tattered
and torn. Once full of emotion,
now as still as death.
It lives in silence, weeping
with regret. Heart turned to
stone, eyes without sight
shrouded with a veil of pain
and loss. They no longer seek
what they once so desired.
Dreams locked away in a little
box shoved into a lonely,
dark, forgotten place.
Eyes that once lived with
the light of the summer sky.
Now as cold and still as the
dead of a winter night.
The promise of hope that
once lived and flourished
inside this soul. Has now
been forgotten buried so
deep in an abyss.
Bound in endless darkness
for what seems like eternity.
It may never again live
in the light...
