Loves Lost

I have gathered you in my heart’s conceal.

Tasted the sweetness of your love.

I have devoured the well of oceans

that lay between us.

And yet it is not enough.

It is never enough to satisfy this longing.

I have given you the wrap of faith

so close to my heart.

Sheltered your body from the pain.

And yet I could not save you

from the demons.

I walk away from the scene

and die from the sight of weakened

bodies, of wounded souls -

that may never recover.

Leaving you alone in the

shadowed mist...

of my heart.
