Twilight Of Our Love

Our love dies alone in its twilight years
Condemned to the empty eons of eternity

I wander through a wasteland of anguish
Driven by unanswered questions and
Tears of desires lost in the ashes

Where is the loneliness in our good-byes?
The smile that danced in your eyes?

Where is the sweet whisper that laced so intricately around my heart?
The warm kisses that delighted me through the cold nights?

Where are the cherished thoughts that danced on your lips?
The love that lingered in every glance?

So long ago, you kissed away my tears and soothed my troubled mind
Now a mournful wind blows silence into my vacuous dreams

Can nothing can be done and is nothing sacred?

My Love, your face escapes me as our love slowly passes away
Can we resurrect our Passions,
Or must I become accustomed to the silence that engulfs my soul?
