Scorched fragments

I'll miss you, my love. Forever.

Oh, my heart once beat with a fire never known.

A love so strong, it danced with a fierocious step.

Every beat a new rhythm striking the drum of my soul.

Words of love and life every morning, 

a reassurance so vivid it created it’s own palette.

Rocky roads, misunderstandings, unconditional love, guidance.

Tendrils of scorching fire winding around the live wires of 2 souls.

We always chose the brightness of fire then the cooling.

Time held no place in a world created for just us, by us.

Altered.

Rocky roads, misunderstandings, miscommunication, misguidance.

Love still a foundation, yet life had other plans.

It pried and stabbed- several attempts at obliteration.

It leaves no choice but one- turn away.

My eyes shed so many tears, I feel dehydrated.

More torn now, then being beaten, battered many years ago.

Hours away, thousands of miles between; opposite ends of the world.

Never able to see the sun rise or moon shine at the same time.

Your touch lingers across my skin, your face a remarkable memory.

A soul seeking pity for it troubles, a heart still beating;

Only aware because you’ve awaken again.

I will never be the same. Never Again.

If a heart beats out of obligation to life, a soul existing in fragments

A mind will shut down to feel nothing but numbness.

A one, true, enraging fire of a love, now cooled; 

marking our scorched path in soot covered memories, wondering how to go on.

Deep...it's always this awkward moment when I've been moved and can't add anything else except to say superb. Hi Rose. :)

Simply amazing write. I love the title...and the stark
Imagery your words captured. Delving into the inner
Psyche of a heart that's been torn, and longing to heal.
Thanks for sharing :)
