sunset fate

@Uootem

here waits such fate of day-longs spent
    in the silent reflections that live within dreams
          that cause a probing into my romanticized self,
    as I carefully construct another height to hardened walls
built of every stone of regret mortared with tears
    sturdy walls to keep the emotions in check
          so that nothing of my life-long yearnings
is revealed to those around me.

here waits in the sunset hues of all I'd once known,
    as i am hard pressed to find reason
          for a heart that once beat to the rhythm of love
    when you provided solace such to soothe
the insecurities of a boy in his youth.
    and by lofty dream's cause or demand,
          by so many day-endings with a self so spent
    let such walls crumble down to earth
if but to lend a suitable worth
    to a poet who'd thus speak and feel of lost love.
