fragrant echoes

a fragrance as you leave
echoes of whispers on the breeze

and you turned away then
I fell down unable to breathe

oh, you left me so alone
I have faded from what we were

with memories turned to dust
only you could do this with ease

songs became whipsers quickly
fading to frail echoes then

renewed in desire and longing
aching for what had been

you cannot describe such cruelty
to love, and not been loved

but this is not love, it is life
to live without the above

imagined slights, taints belief
making the believer recoil

until one turns from dark to light
and again become enthralled.
