Forgotten Melody

A lonely path it was,

strewn with budding flowers and dead leaves,

an ode to my dying soul.

i lived the moment i met you

and died today

unsung and forgotten.

Promises were made

only to get lost in the mists of tomorrow.

Hopes were renewed

only to be buried,

a painful transformation to nothingness.

Like the haunting melody of the dusk

i sang a half-remembered song.

The words remain unfinished

slipping away from my fingers

like the long lost rainbow.

The desert mocks me

laughing, screaming, crying

inside my head.

I see you but you are gone,

a mirage and a miracle

of knowing you,

of loving you

and of losing you.

The pain is gone

as i lay here hollow

transported into nothingness...
