"Reminiscent"

I watched you walk away
Under a lonely gray winter sky,
The fading brightness of purity and unscathed beauty.
A means to faith.

I watched as all life's dreams slipped away,
The warmth of a hearts fire,
snuffed out, cold.
Now left comfortless,
a bitter, smoldering
blackness.

An odyssey of torment.

The restless, relentless search for meaning,
in the unlighted darkness of
a loveless life.

Misunderstood. In sadness.
Alone.
