Tides of the Enigma

I recall when your countenance

was full of grace

and your neon smile lit up every space

laying my heart to waste

the moment I saw your face.

In an instant, I knew we were to be

like a prophecy I could see 

a life together I longed to live.

But that vision became a shimmer

and gradually grew dimmer

as my heart became dejected and divided

when we came to this beautiful wasteland.

I hope you know,

there was nothing you could do

I was fracted and detracted

a splintered heart long ago maimed

disconnected from God, I was untamed

but your love never retracted

despite lances lunged through your heart.

In the end

nothing could mend

two broken souls,

uninspired and cold

clinging to a corpse

of a love that died with remorse.
