Love Poem: Gone

Gone

Translucent light through opaque panes
Whistles they sound on Westbound trains
She can't share the guilt
Only I am to blame
Murky water 
Pulled from a spoon
Lovelight  dimmed 
Like a bloodred moon
The day is done 
My task is at hand
This worry will lessen 
Like hourglass sand
The blame isn't mine 
Only a shell remains
She's broken and bitter 
Heart filled with pain
Flooded eyes pouring 
Like a springtime rain
Body shaking and trembling
Hurt still remains
Whispers on deaf ears 
Not giving relief
Falling aimlessly
Like a wind blown leaf
Love that was given
Would help with the storm
Unfulfilled expectations 
Became quite the norm
Hearts made for breaking
Are worn on the sleeve
A blooming rose at one time 
Now only thorns and leaves
