Jagged

Lingering labor of love, but a distant memory - a jaded, faded dream

Spreads particles of regret's remorse, scattered sand in a desert’s storm

Reverberating aftermath taunts, haunting with no chance to redeem

The wistful weep of ebullient emotion that will not be conformed

Let it lift to drift on the wind, scatter like sand amongst the ruins

For no stone edifice lingers here save residuals of the deepest frown

Love was nothing but deceitful dreams spun in idealistic illusion

Scarred shadows of a lascivious love are all that lingers to be found
