Love Poem: Solitude By the Reverie

Written by: Line Gauthier

Solitude By the Reverie

the tiniest sliver of a moon hangs distant
yet its faded heart long gone
it too abandons me tonight

i buried you today

how can i face returning to an empty home
though somehow i’ll have to come to terms
but this night’s for tears freeflowing 
and unmedicated throbbing ache left raw
 
for release of what’s built up inside
the hurt the bitterness the anger
let go of what i can

deep down to the roots of my solitude
haunting gregorian chants fill my head

till finally i’m intoxicated
on visions of nostalgia and reverie
