Lost Among the Trees
By: BJPech
A times wasteland
void in the darkness
Of past recollections
times of loves sorrow
When you left part of me withered
crumbled like brown leaves in autumn
The days that followed
reflections in a pool
My life turned to conflict
existing, but not alive
Caught in the remorse
the memories of a shared existence
That was supposed to be eternal
vows taken, promises made
Now I have to walk the road alone
find my way without her embrace
To come home to a house deserted
where laughter used to resound
Where our children played out their lives
in fantasies of young dreams
The long road I travel now
leading to the willow of tears
