I know not where my love has gone
blown away in the winds of apathy
the hearth of purity once lit now dead
failing to light at the hopeful breath
leaving the attempt colder than stone
the blackened stone remembers the fire
it revelled when it held the fierceness
giving any near the life it had
now it imparts the sadness that resides
for love burns there not at all
where has the light gone
warmth of heart that changes
hope that is the inspiration
the hearth is cold
fire is ne'er as strong
for all is fading,
gone before long.
flesh failing to wan skin and bone
spirit escaping it's shell to be free
now, there will be no more songs
dust; once blood moved the breast
soon the memory will be soon gone
the legacy for flesh lain unsired
chance forsaken, with a stolen kiss
my love hath died, slain by the wayside
cruel fate, my heart heeds the call
I have wish to be gone
it is part of another age
winter to summer's season
my heart, once bold
has waited far too long
struggling, chafing
for it's last song.
