A Broken Heart's Lament Poem by Michelle Hyde

I seek the silence of the shadows I once embraced.
Once more I walk a lonely path and all of my light is gone.
How I wish I could remember how it felt in that moment of splendor.
To feel the arms of my love around me once more and to know his kiss upon my lips.

Though life itself is unfair; all was different when he was there.
Dark became light, bad turned to good...
So distant all that is now,
As if only a faded memory,
A dream.

Perhaps once again I will come to know such joy and delight;
To have that happy ending.
Until then I will withdraw for now and say my goodbyes,
Fade into the background and watch;
Waiting for the day I am seen again.
