Love Lingers
Within the shadow of a broken heart,
love lingers, hidden from reality.
Yet from this depressive ebony realm,
nothing, not even hope's light, can escape.
Love seed cannot take root or ever bloom
within the shadow of a broken heart.
And all of tomorrow's dreams disappear,
for love's blind, beyond the moment of now.
Oceans of tears rise like a sobbing tide,
rushing to drown happiness forever.
Within the shadow of a broken heart,
a minefield of emotions lay in wait.
Wounds fueled by abandonment feelings,
fester without love's light; lost to the dark.
Yet, hope glints like a fragmented mirror
within the shadow of a broken heart.
