In the quiet dark I sit silently
Thinking about much and saying little…
Looking around and wondering what I look like
Roused only by the constant rhythmic pounding
Of a sad lonely heartbeat echoing in the deep abyss
That now exists within the confines of my soul…
Whispers scream so quietly that they deafen my ear
Shattering the solitude of the chaotic tranquility
Absence of love makes my heart grow colder…
Not wanting love’s flame to die
Efforts are made valiantly to keep it alight
Yet the glow of the fading embers cast protruding and lonely
Shadows on everything laying motionless in the dark…
Spinning around, trying to catch a glimpse of myself
Trying to maintain balance while helplessly slipping away
As though falling down the steep slope of sadness I am
Clutching at the stems of passing lilies…hoping they somehow
Are able to slow me down…to stop me from falling…
A heart once fed by Love’s utopian nectar
Quickly dies and fades to nothingness as soon as
The sustaining element…love…is taken away…
As happens to my heart each passing minute
That it is forced to exist without your love…
Alas! What a tragedy!
To see a once mighty love fall from its esteemed majestic pedestal
To places lower than Hades itself…
How tragic a fate that I wish upon no man, upon no relationship
How tragic a fate that has however befallen me
How ironic a fate that I am the bearer of such a misfortune
My heart ponders on the possibility that somehow
Once again, with the passing of more time, that
It will once again beat with not just one heartbeat
But two beats living in one heart
Beating out a simple harmony of sweet love…
