Unravelled

UNRAVELED


Lives once entangled by the tender hands of fate
Unraveled by the fingers of reality 
The fabric of love torn by loyalty and duty
To what once held the promise of happiness
Strangled by the tentacles of past commitments;
Frightened by the possibilities of unconditional love
The embers of passion smolder; paths divert

His spirit resonates from the depths of my soul
His eyes look out from the shadows of my memory
His absence haunts each passing day
Dreams relinquished
Hope abandoned
Love unraveled
