Living With Lost Love

Living with lost love

	Loneliness now grips my mottled hand
	Whilst true love sits so near, yet far away;
	Words, misunderstood, killed all that was,
	And in my heart I fear that's how it will stay.
	Could love die in so short space of time?
	Those years of warmth extinguished in a trice.
	Togetherness has vanished in the night
	As silence turns a home to solid ice.
	No well meant kiss when night times echo calls,
	Now sparkling eyes are staring straight ahead,
	And like a churchyard all in order stands,
	As graves we lie, apart, just like the dead.
		In darkness now I wait the coming dawn
		And curse the very day that I was born.
