Forever I roam in the realm of night
Never again to behold the bright light
I walk alone and wander much too far
Searching in vain for my evening star
For I last left him in long days of old
Where love from fire was kindled strong and bold
But mine wavered and I was torn apart
By power of fate, hate, or some dark art
He was my whole life, but this he knew not
My heart could not be bought, so I thought
Yet he did so with a laugh and a smile
For him I knew I would walk miles and miles
I let fall my iron wall of defense
Though I knew not he had come to me whence
Now very dearly do the price I pay
For my futile fantasy dreams of day
He is always, forever gone from me
Yet he still holds my broken, heart-shaped key
I walk, looking for him forevermore
Still searching blindly, within, for the door

Was it personal experience you were writing from ????Whatever it is its truly heart warming,,i could well relate to the poem for i too had dealt with a similar situation earlier !I really like your style ,the use of some wonderful phrases coherently coupled with the sing song rhyme scheme of the poem made me delve deeper into the the poem's feelings and the emotions which echo through its words!Sad in the end but i guess that is what life is all about ,someone is always sad in the end!
Actually, yes. Thank you so much!
Wow this is amazing! I love the voice in this, and the word choice was brilliant. 🙂
Hehe, that means a lot.
