Once your eyes dressed me upon their sparkle
like a song you were, fresh to the ears
made me forget the wandering years, the silent tears
that filled the empty want within.
Now you look with those dazed eyes
that see only your reflection,
and everything that ever came to be,
faded, died
To life's bitter symphony.
Once upon a long, long time
you held the status of my Queen
you reigned equal here
where the night entangled us upon its wild
where one by one our dreams together filled
A simple plan for us to be
gathered here the trilogy
Of Love, friendship and being.
Years have tinkered the sad plots
where the deceit hides it's face
a time where all was held in place
shattered upon the night and cried
Till love that sacred essence between us died.
I still care despite the pain
the ruined conception of the horrid rain
that fell upon us and devested the whole
Ruined the senses, drained the soul.
But love is love, and true never parts
It cares beyond the pain, the suffering we impart
It holds you still in its essence here
Still loved, still held dear.
No doubt it always shall bless the day
when first your face found my way
and etched for a time upon my life
As a companion. Friend and once a wife.
