a year
has slipped past
since last
I saw your face
a year
of good times
and bad
a year
when I cherished
a few moments
of joy
and endured
many months
deeply sad
a year
when you smiled
and held
my hand warm
but only
in my desperate dreams
a year
when the darkness
grew blacker
each night
the sun slept
and there were
too few
moon beams
a year
when I witness
my life
running slow
a year
that says
I am growing old
a year
when the rain
is less wet
than my tears
a year
that ends
with my heart
empty
and cold
Time does go by doesn’t it. The memories don’t seem to go away though. You expressed the emotions involved exceedingly well! xo

Triste à souhait. Mais beau quand même.
You describe very well the bone deep loneliness of lost love and how it wears on the soul.

It makes me yearn for Spring, warmth, rays of light, light of love, hope and the rosy fingers of suns dawning. Well done Bri!
