a faint light that still that still shines

Folder: 
My trashcan poetry

in the darkness of my heart there's a faint light that still
that still shines 
even though it is only through the embers of what once was
she was gone 
it would have been easier to just say that I lost her
or she died 
but she was gone without a word she had walked
out that door to a new life
I stopped thinking about her for a second 
while my mind traces back the years of missing her ....
there she is again but this time in my poetry
so wrapped up in my pride 
I let her slip through my fingers like cold spring water
where even though it's gone you can still vividly feel 
the sensations
yes in the darkness of my heart there's a faint light that still
that still shines 
even though it is only through the embers of what once was
I never forget

Nice Line!

"...the embers of what once was..." memories as ashes still burning - nice continuation of a theme. Lost, gone, missed, wished. Great to see you writing again! ~Lady A~
