Bear with me!

Your faded picture, my bittersweet companion,

draws me in only to remind me of what I have lost.

Our love, my pillar of life, now gone;

all that remains, ashes and dust…

Drunken by your love, lost in memories good and bad;

I am still yours though there isn’t much left to be had.

I’ve stopped and looked back at every step it seems;

and when I look down my feet are frozen in time!

Too long since your last loving gaze; and now, 

I am too broken to be loved by another!!!
