Lilac Feathered Goodbye

I hope you would still remember me as we were,

every time you see pristine 

passing pomegranate hues of the horizon.

When clouds smear our unspoken love 

in inexplicable figurines,

of those simple moments we 

reignited beneath our own twilight, 

reliving our dreams in 

remaining rosy dialects of romantic recollections,

as I have a confession to make

beneath this cluttering of chaos.

I wasn’t ready to let you nor our late night conversations go, 

After all these years, all my heart ever desires, 

is for you to see the broken empire 

behind these weary eyes.

I have long been a gift of solitude and sorrow,

But as I’ve let you go, my hopes swayed a lilac 

feathered goodbye,

Although you’ll never know how a simple hey, 

once upon a time, saved my life,

and embellished my universe with pearlescent 

moonstones and amethysts.

Yet I still question you, in rustic rhymes you can’t comprehend,

Have you forgotten how to pronounce my name?

is it because your heart doesn’t feel the same?

Have your desires now become tame?

As you walk away, why am I the one to take the blame?

Is our love now lost in history?

Is that why you’ve left me in so much mystery?

In your absence the mind battles against violence.

All is mute in a void of meaningless silence.

Did you forget to love me today?

Is this the price I have to pay?

Just for you to say that you’ll love me 

again in the same way, someday.
