Demise
of a Promise
In
love, isolated, afar from the one
Memories, a call from her far
away voice
Beyond the dim rim of murky reason
Reassurances rain
down from sweet lips
Endless days darken, become restless
nights
Aching hearts beat out an endless lament
Knowing she
waits lonely, carrying unshed tears
In each lonely being the
knowledge, home coming is soon
Nights become days and days
become a fortnight
Ghost whispers in a haunted mind become
compelling
Small shafts of light illuminate the unspoken truths
Oh
so quickly what was promised is taken away
Falling faster and
faster through the emotional chasm
Anger, sorrow and despair
tinged with a need to hate
She now treats me as he and he as
me
Time to reap what was sown, we are dead to each other
