Your soft heart took such a crushing blow
when she let you know
the door had closed upon her own.
There you stood
upon dry land
as the ocean of her loving promise
receded
never to return
Nights became a crushing kind of agony
full of those memories
of all the times you saw her smile
as your kisses
covered her flesh
lighting up the stars
that shone
in her eyes
Now
at times
the darkness
seems completely unbearable
as you wrap the covers
around
no one to witness your tears
but the angels
No one to soothe
your fears
that you may never ever find the heart
to love this way
again.
