Maybe next time!

by Peter Duncombe   Feb 8, 2012


Words of heartfelt emotions evaporate like morning dew at sunrise.
Were they all in vain, drifting towards a slow and embittering demise?
The love that traversed time and space awakened senses now departed.
All that remains a heart once whole but now completely shattered.

Drained of all emotion I sought the solitude that only death can give.
Why need to roam these paths I feel no purpose, reasons left to live.
Life was but a journey of sorrow with a scattering of fervent desire.
Torn away in a moment and discarded as scorched ashes from a fire.

I can't go on; this lonely road holds naught but cold emptiness and pain.
All feelings spent in tireless search for loves embrace that never came
Farewell this world no pity shown just one more step then I'll be home.
And with that dawn maybe a new horizon I'll walk towards but not alone.
