Love’s Death

Choice of words

Choice so obscure

Obscure mind

Obscure line

Line of sight

Line the sky

Sky that fell

Sky of poems

Poems for you

Poems that bled

Bled from soul

Bled for time

Time and laughter

Time well-spent

Spent so freely

Spent with you

You now busy

You now gone

Gone from me

Gone for good

Good things end

Good things die

Die like stars

Die so dark

Dark with despair

Dark falls over

Over my love

Over my spell

Spell is broken

Spell went wrong

Wrong was financed

Wrong plus tax

Tax my patience

Tax my effort

Effort so earnest

Effort was wasted

Wasted rough drafts

Wasted tears

Tears that choke

Tears that stain

Stain the memory

Stain the sheets

Sheets can strangle

Sheets that cover

Cover with soil

Cover a grave

Grave of love

Grave that's haunted

Haunted

Love
