She could never erase his beautiful face from her mind. He was a traitor who left her alone in the shadows with only his memory to hold. The torment of letting him go would be far worse than the all the years of pain that drove her to write volumes of madness in his honour.

     Volumes of Madness

 

Hair long and golden, eyes sad and blue

 

Lips softly whispered, “I think I love you”

 

Tears fell so swiftly like rain from the sky

 

Voice of an angel could not say goodbye

 

Soul full of emptiness, heart full of pain

 

Mind held a face that would drive her insane

 

Memories never to tarnish to grey

 

Stories and poems of a love gone astray

 

Bookshelf of dreams that were nothing but dust

 

Lost with the lover that she could not trust

 

Ghost of a soldier who marched in the snow

 

Shadowed the sun of her world long ago

 

Haunted creations of paper and pen

 

Volumes of madness she kept ’til the end
