*the title is still being thought over....


Reach up for the light above you,
It glows with everlasting luminosity;
Then let it go,
Crumbling to the ground
Around your careless feet,
Alive with words we wish we’d never said
Aloud, but there it is before us,
All our fate, shining down,
In full memory
Of the atrocity which we have committed.

Each pearly gaze will set us further
And further apart,
Until one day, it comes down unto us,
Each disremembered glance
Turns every hope away,
And we are left with nothing,
Nothing.
In the blackest pit
Of our sorrows
And despair.

I wish (oh how I wish!)
I knew what to say
To make you forget,
Our dark ways were star-crossed,
Then left unchanged,
As each to his own.
O Where did the light go?
The light that blinded us so
To the passion of the moment
And grand ecstasy.

I return now and again,
To the spot that was crossed.
The light is faded now,
Its spark a dull reflection
Of genial days together,
And then, the merciless rain comes,
And washes away your trace.
As I crumble at the place
Where your careless feet walked by,
My tears flow one last time.
