There was a time when I loved.

I loved with a passion so deep and so vast.

I believed in it with my entire soul,

My entire being and existence.

There was nothing in the world that could bring me down.

I was the highest highs.

You were everything to me.

I knew nothing but your lips,

The precious scent of your skin.

The sound of your heart beat

Became the rhythm of my life.

I couldn’t venture from your presence,

From the realm of your very subsistence.

And then the day came

When you broke apart my world,

Leaving nothing behind

But a path of wreckage and pain.

I can’t see through the darkness

That surrounds everything that I am.

My light is gone forever.

Only my tears and cries remain.

What happened to love

And what happened to forever

And where did always go?
