YOU NEVER KNEW THE WORDS

 

I am left with the shadows of your memories ~

the whispers of our past

In subtle shades of grey they weave their sad, silent song

 in places where you no longer belong

 

 The journal of our memories have weakened

and yellowed with age

from tears that fell upon each forgotten page

A forgotten tale created with a weak, wilted love ~ 

that ended it's glory ~ ended it's story all too soon

 

Our walk took a different turn on a lonely, craggy road

when you sold your soul to the world for nickels and dimes

Your love was like a dying ember ~ never a burning fire

with ashes of regret that fill my days

 

The words of love's passion you never knew ~ never learned

The taste of true devotion you could not embrace

leaving my poor heart jaundiced, so unsatisfied...

 so in need of healing and truth

 

 

It left my spirit feeling like dried, desiccated clay

on the desert’s hot dehydrated floor

with my soul seeping into the hard baked earth

in layers of wretchedness...

layers that will remain even after, scarring my soul

leaving my weakened spirit wanting to pull down it’s shade

Forgotten - left alone, like a candle in the wind…

 like a lonely feather with love bleeding from it's quill ~

fluttering aimlessly in the  breeze

I am in love with this, I feel this one in my bones, it resonates and then slaps me in the face, remembering back to those weak yet vivid memories and yellowed pages. Nicely pen'd indeed!
