Anguish

Discarded memories
of love once lost
an unquenched thirst

A haunting past
lingering wants
eyes burned by tears

Guilt
betrayal and lust
torturous retentions

half a shell
the yolk long gone
left with the pieces
abandon

Make it stop
it takes but a smile
a hopeful glimpse

A chance lost

Embers wasted
an opportunity dismissed
eternal regret

Foreboding darkness
silence surrounds
sanctity

Good-bye my love
Heaven awaits
