Gone
Laying with my pain
Praying in the rain.
Goodbye Kevin was all she wrote
As I composed a suicide note
On a grey late night train.
Just me and the blues again.
Using every profanity
Losing out to insanity.
Embracing emptiness
As shooting stars caress.
I see you in moon blue light
Where yesterday once shone.
Our hopes rose like a kite
Consumed by tempest bite
No trace to act upon
Smiles on your face were gone.
Kissing through 'til dawn
Our passion there was born.
Softer than a petal could breathe
- The jasmine of a summer night
All love could ever bequeath
Fading silently out of sight.
Promises made with the dew
Heated by the sun
In mystical twilight flew
And into moonbeams they were spun.
Then your heart, just out of reach
Left me on a lonely beach
And as I looked above
Our own white dove
- Just glided on
In a purple sky above
I sighed
And then it was gone.
