Love's Refrain.

*********************************

I walk the hidden

trails of Hell,

and sing the unwritten

words of pain.

My peace and mind

I'll sell,

Just to hear your

love's refrain.

Sadly, it's long gone

from us,

the tiny flame is

extinguished.

This grief gets harder

to hush,

for my fate has been

established.

You're slipped between

my fingers,

floating away on tendrils

of smoke.

On the sill of my heart your

love lingers,

along with the life and

false hope.

Your letters I've 

forgotten,

tears have long since

dried.

This festering hate

lies rotten,

since the day your love

died.

I can try and try with all

 my might...

And still fail in the

end.

I can't retrieve our warming

light,

your murder and indifference

rends.

So walk away like the

others, 

and don't give me a second

glance.

Just hold high your

shoulders,

and join your love in Death's 

Dance.

This cleft shall break me

in two,

but I'll be fine I 

suppose.

As long as I've loved

you,

I will continue to live

and grow.

For now I trod and wear

the grass,

even though I'd rather

fade.

I guess I'm stuck in this

black mass,

flailing and drowning in what

I've made.

Author's Note

I will always love this person, for how they've changed me and the impact they've had.

Your poem is so beautiful. It's very touching and emotional. Great job

[Mr Whiskers]

It is really driven by the emotion, one to be read aloud over again just for its strength. Love that never dies, at least to those who care to keep it in our hearts

[G. Anderson]

Thanks to you guys.
I just have my moods and personalities that drown, and this is what is created.
