Tomorrows gone and moments lost
my foolishness paid such dear cost
and cold your heart beats ‘neath the frost,
neglected and forlorn.
.
And helpless still I stand and wait
through love, obsession, anger, hate
the path you walk that leaves my gate
feet ragged, red and torn.
.
These hearts they beat, betray with ease
the soul and mind and flesh to please
yet easy tossed upon the breeze
and dressed in black they mourn.
.
The back and forth, the give and take
the fire, desire, the longing ache
such foolish ways, the paths we take
until, at last, a dawn.
Love this
