Love Poem: When Love Is Lost

When Love Is Lost

When Love is Lost
On the dark side of the moon, my wounded heart limps into the grip of a starless abyss
From the void of love lost, prayers fall empty upon deaf sky clouded by the grey of despair
Like the song of the wind strangled by black linen ribbons, I mourn I hurt I sob I sob
My heart shredding ripping bleeding raw with red pain until… until… you are nothing to me
