Drifting

Reading your words
And words I said
Now echoes on
A frozen stream.

Try on the memories,
Everything meant (once real),
Laugh at me
Shadows on a lonely page...

How can happiness be
So cruel?
Subtle evil
Tearing lovers apart.

As so many words are broken,
The pieces are careen
More helpless
Against a darkening sky...

Where are the magic hands
 I once held?
Where are the softening eyes
So pure?

Dreamed away on tales
Now discarded,
Wind blown ashes
From yesterday's fire.

To collapse and kiss
A soul goodbye.
