Lost Love
By Rithy Vu
Endless nights waiting sunrise
Eyes burning an inferno of tears
Whispers in the shadow's loneliness
A solitude black wall of darkness appears
Happiness decaying from each breathes
The dark angel living within
Bright flashes of pastel images
Only to blacken once again
The rhythm of soul moves on
Pushing farther, as far into the sky
A hallow tree griping the earth
Reflections of leaves fall and die
Hearing the thunder from the heavens
The failure to love has punished
Screeching from the forest
No longer beautiful has flourished
So confused and lost in the wild
Looking for the light to show the way
Buried deep within the ground
Resting in peace one shall lay
