Residual

A poem about the aftermath of love

Residual

In love we lay down our lives with hope and expectation

Pledges are made of undying devotion

The glisten of youth is the uniform of desire

When we are left with the aftermath of a disaster

We linger in the residue of love

Hoping to resurrect the ashes

Rekindle the dead flame

Cry no more tears

Into the Residual

Oh, this is tough, but absolutely the way it is. (Or how it has been in my life, at least) I envy those whose spark remains strong through the years, for there is no more wonderful feeling in life.
