An abandoned land remains out here
Nothing more may grow from there
Roam paths that trigger of days past
A place we got lost in; divided
It was bright past the gates that were open
Didn’t see a fog that was patiently lurking
Wish we had stopped there, prevented an undoing
Felt ominous whispers through my skin
Feel those claws clenching still
Back then it was evergreen
Me as a pauper and you as my queen
Could’ve laid on blossomed flowers
Who then may have foreseen
Thought we would prosper, link hearts
Stuck between a kiss, surely
Evermore let our love loop in a time machine
Wished upon countless stars, that
Haven't been, and were never seen
As the haze grew, it was swaying me
Descried a reflection that I didn’t know
A monster stood glaring, shocked and
I realized, it was, it is, me
Tear apart our love was something
Never thought I could muster to do
Somewhere along in the shadows, I lost
It all faded, you’re not here no more
How hard to try and find a way back
Every part of us taken in the deluge
Was lost yet never found, empty
Is my body that forgets to breathe, empty
The life that leads round back to bliss
Where were you, Where were you,
When I truly needed you, how it all
Became like this, truly I do not know
Beautiful
This is beautiful, great poem!
I agree, very much so.
I agree, very much so.
