Not ready to let you go

An orchestra plays behind the crowd

Tears rain down beneath the cloud

Crossing the sun array

Into dark seas

No face in the darkness

No heartbeat heard

Only emptiness found

Alone tonight, alone forever

Seeking company in twilight

Torch of fire, I search the night

Birds sing me to sleep at dawn

Ants hauling water as I weep

Come home to me

Or lead me home to you

Reunite me with my sanity

Restore my grey to beauty

Return the gems to my eyes

Reform me of my demise

My voice can’t say goodbye

Although, my heart knows it

When faith is gone, not all the ritual-repetition on Earth will bring it back; the same is true with love--though, for a little while, those "rituals" may sometimes grant a little comfort.
I like the sad, futile plea characterizing your excellent poem, Ren. And readers certainly empathize with, "Alone tonight, alone forever."
Very fine work.

I lie awake in the darkness and my heart cries for you. Morning sings me to sleep with the tune of her tiny birds.........sad and so beautiful.
