Assorted Poems - 2. Our End, My Beginning

Our lives were entwined,
But no longer.
Your kisses were sweet,
But no longer.
We have laughed and we have loved,
But no longer.

You ran away with the coming dawn,
from a path fraught with danger,
But you ran away from what we had built,
As if you and I were just strangers.

So I buried my heart in a field of tears,
Under a sky of memories old and pure,
With one last look I turned my back,
And strode into the darkening night.

I walk alone along this path,
Awaiting a new day, a new dawn,
But as I leave I hear the past echoing back,
Your voice promising to be there forever,
Our impossible dream.

The road is long indeed
But I will make it.
Twisting through danger and uncertainty,
But I will make it.
To romances new and bold.

And I will make it.
