The Sad Release
The Sad Release
My mind, abandoned like last week's burnt toast
longings- deepest longings for your touch.
I had you once, reveling in pride I did boast
sadness now- heart misses you so much.
Once- blue waters graced our flowing streams
back when- you so dearly loved me most.
I held you once- kissed wrapped in my dreams
now only memories- our true love a ghost.
Fleeting thoughts- shadows in my aching pains
heartaches flow- fire burnt to ashes.
Tried every road, made no real romantic gains
imagination flies but so soon, it crashes.
Soon my last breath gifts me the greatest relief.
Life means nothing if our love you have no belief.
