My love remains

The lights in her eyes remain
A distant memory
floating
A ghost of the past
At the edges of thought
Of a love that would not last

The pain still grows within
Mingling with emotions
of a man once a child
a child once a man

A single moment
Devoid of sadness
Seemingly tangible
cascades before eyes
lost in hurt

Our souls connected
Once whole
Now shattered

My life my love
Is forever Darkened
Shadows cast in the midst of midnight
Shackles of emotion detain
But forever
My love remains
