A pool of silver linings
Water lapped ocean rocks
The sun sank the wishful thoughts
Reality struck you like a clock
When you whispered “this is the end”
And never surfaced

Love made you stronger
But I wish I had you longer
Different lies
Of the same variety
Banished you to fields of gray
Trapped in the looking glass
Of memory
Where only pictures in my head
Brought me to your bed
Where cloudless nights
Brought forth blinding lights
And sleepless fright
