Watching the dusk darken,
Solitary lanterns made shadows deepen,
Remembered another dusk,
When we walked that mile, fresh.
Love shone bright in your eyes,
Or that's what I wanted to find.

Years passed and the love faint,
Found it glowing for another find.
Flitted across before I grasped,
Stepping on my love unabashed.
I remain a song overspent,
Lacklustre, rust and forsaken.

My heart broken yet remain,
Tears unshed, swallowing the pain.
Is there a sign of hope still,
My heart's strive to beat its fill.
Trying to kindle a spark in vain,
Would the love rise from the ash and shine?
