A salmon sun peeks
Over a misty horizon
Promise of a new love dawns
Fresh is the air
Flowers thrive in their splendor
The relationship grows
Strong the reeds along the river
Carrying each others dreams
Fresh like spring
Wishing it will never end
Impossible it seems
Color bleeds from the leaves
What used to endear me to you
Grates on my nerves
No longer do birds break into song
Smiles fading
Hopes graying
Soon charcoal flakes fall
Harsh winds chill my flesh
My splintered heart
Bleeds crimson
Upon untouched snow
No longer is your warm hand
In mine along my path
Brambles clog the exit
Stumbling along
Without you I lost my way
Emerging from the forest
Frost gathers on the grass
Shivering and alone
A dead moon appears upon
The shattered skyline
Mirroring my hopes once new
What is missing is you
