Where Did We Go?

I no longer know

was it you

was it I

which of us determined

that the love was gone

that we had to go

our separate lives

our own ways

sunset of time

fading away.

I can still hear your voice

lingering in my ear

I can sense your being

nestled in close to me

a haunting memory

one I wish I could rip

tear from my heart

from my mind

replace with cold emptiness.

Little comfort

will ease this ache

that never leaves

a dull pulsing

playing in my heart

on repeat.

Once

we dreamt of a life

entwined

enmeshed

together for all eternity

our past and future lives

reaching out

souls forever seeking.

Good bye

with etched remorse

I sever these memories

I blanket the dreams

placed deep in crypt

never again to be seen.

Drift Away

Peeping

through curtained hair

steaming cup

scented air

turn of the page

soft whisper

the only sound

in days

I have heard from you.

Wondering

thoughts in my mind

happier days

times of dreams

times of love

laughter

when did it fade away

why did it not last?

Chin in hand

tears blurring sight

I stare

taking in everything

memorizing

features

the strong set of your jaw

the lean fingers

which have pleasured me so many times

aware that we are at an end.

When did we become so distant?

When did the emotions drain?

Both of us

empty husks

sharing a house

after vowing for evermore.
