We were but a moment
faded to dust long ago
but not long enough to forget
I exist here in the void
between what we once dreamed
and what was our reality
where the ashes of us
still linger like dust
shifting in the shadows
of my peripheral vision
my heart in constant longing
now softly shrouded in darkness
waves of night wash over me
unshakeable memories persevere
and I dream of your whispers
and of loves’ sweet kiss
