Love Regained Love Lost
Love Regained Love Lost
I asked if she would travel with me, down
The road where it forked
One leading to the unknown, the other
Her comfort zone
She took my hand and replied 'my place
Is by your side,
Whichever path that you choose, is where
My destiny lies'.
So we took the path unknown, red carpet of
Autumn leaves blown
Heels crunching on fallen leaves resounded
Throughout the valley
Estranged lovers meeting after years, dropping
Baggage of the past
Walking to a new beginning between aisle
Of trees, at last
Fingers of fire rose from nowhere, smoke
Curtain obscured my vision
Our hands separated, I called out to her
Met silence in return
There she was lying in a bundle, beyond
Recognition, face charred, blackened
Swallowed in the burst of fire that happened when her foot stepped on landmine hidden
Shattered, I picked up her remains, buried
Them, in a safe place
There was no turning back for me, love lost,
Regained, lost again.
This path we had chosen to move on, now
Appeared like a bed of thorns
Once more life threw had thrown a curved ball
I'm back to walking alone!
