Treasured thoughts riveted in my mind

of my dearly beloved whom I’ve left behind.

Gratifying my pleasures left him out in the cold

with nothing to hold on but memories of old

Whispering pleas fell on deaf ears

too busy listening to things left unsaid.

Raking through rubble looking for clues,

could not walk away without paying my dues.

Frozen tears seem to fall from th sky,

burning my face and wetting my thighs.

Moments dismantling like coals in the fire,

sometimes love feels like walking on wire.
