Unseen
Unseen
but ever lingering
you are gone
with the wind
now there is only the illusion
of an eternity promised
but not delivered
and in the end, only shadows remain
the curtains are closed
and hide the deception
you promised forever
but soulless, you stole my heart
leaving only darkness behind
I am left not understanding why
why I am alone now
with my blood-stained heart
but the wind has cleared the debris
carried all traces of you away
and I am healing myself
living to love another day
