Poem ... But Not Forgotten

You’ll know when it happens
The vapid shell of loneliness
The ache of reminiscence
The screaming of the silence
The echoes of the dreams
And the stains of meandering tears
Running down my face
Looking back from the mirror;
How can it remain
So void of emotion and
And empty of empathy?

Once I believed love was forever
Building sandcastles in the air
Now crumbed to dust

The shards of shattered dreams
Pierce my soul
Rainbow dreams dissolve into a murky mess
Candles of hope melt into congealed mound of naught.
Flames of passion stabbed to death with icicles of apathy
And yesterday’s looks of love are today’s empty gazes.
Hands once so warm no longer cherish
And snatched moments of love, no longer sought.

Far away in the recesses of my mind
Struggling to survive, and thrive,
The niggling fear.
Of turning that corner
And starting anew.
