_______________
How humble the heart
when love has departed.
How empty its rooms,
no longer so gay.
Gone is the warmth that
glowed and restarted
The embers of passion that
grew every day.
Say goodbye to the joy that
filled me with life
And goodbye to all memory
of a love so new.
Hello to the agony of the deep
driving cold knife
And the pain that reminds me
forever of you.
How barren the fields of my
down trodden heart.
How vast the storm that you
left on the sea.
The memories I have will not
let me restart.
The face of you, the smell of you,
will always be with me.
