Brokenhearted Sunsets
The love you lost will not scrub away time
Nor disguise a tear stained face curled in dark
You doubt brighter suns will once again climb
Your misery's sadness turns oligarch
Sovereign hearts judge their own choice of pain
And weigh distressed scales of fleeting love lost
Extent of emotions spent to sustain
Grow rotten and die to love at all cost
Tomorrow fills with torture you provoke
And is fraught with blurred mind's eye that remains
This pained remembrance you'll evoke
Will discharge to leave darker deeper stains
You curse the sunsets you count and lament
Brokenhearted sunsets are your torment
