This sky was once ours
with its evanescent hues
of gold and silver
a glimpse of heaven
etched upon a frozen night
but we both had ghosts
that relentlessly haunted us
until what we had
finally collapsed under the weight
the nexus of loss and love
ever connected by darkness and light
there were fleeting moments
when I awakened
still feeling your warmth
but time had already played
its’ final act
