The Moonlight's Light

When you lose the person you love, you see them everywhere. You find your life feels like it will never go back to the way it was when he was in it. Or she.

In the dead of night, I see a light
Enchanted by your face, through the trees
It's like lace, through the moonlight's face
When I stare too long, I lose it all,
Fading back to darkness, more haunting than before
I'm left to imagine. . . I try and I can't see a thing
Cry myself to sleep, deep inside I feel lost,
Will you come back?
This lack of myself, I couldn't see you couldn't breathe
I forced you away
Staining the reflection to never return to your love
Now I can't dream without you haunting the colors
I can't see past your face, in the dead of night, when I can't sleep
Some night the moon will be gone, and the light won't enchant the memories
Then I won't try to remember, and I will cry from the beginning
No more trying, these lies, are more alive than before
You will come back, they whisper when the rain pours down,
And I stare out praying for you to come running for shelter
These lies are cutting me to the core, to reveal the truth
You won't come back, the lack of myself, and I couldn't see
You couldn't breathe, I was taking the air, away from you
I stained the love you had, making it run away
Making you run away. . . As I stood in the rain, believing you would come back to walk me to shelter
And now in the dead of night, every night, I see a light
Enchanting your face, through the trees
And it's like lace, through the moonlight's face
I always stare too long, and I lose it all
To not lose it all
But I can't hold it. . .
I lose it all

Wonderful imagery here. It felt real...

[by S.D.]

oh this is so sad but I think it very well written and powerful. When my grandparents died I felt similar to this and it brings imagery to my mind.

This is quite different from what I'm used to reading, yet thats what makes it an interesting read for me. Great poem!
