Faded, into black and white

A silken rose, once sweet delight

Its colors, now ravished, bled apart

Time stands still, as does my heart

We were together, now I am one

This emptiness, can’t be undone

By memories, so long denied

They still lay heavy, deep inside

So let the clock ticktock away

Yes, I will wait for that fine day

When the time, at last, for me is right

Never again will I fade, into black and white

Adorned, I hide my face
Inside this mask of blue
Silver painted, decorated
To keep myself from view

Where no one knows about me
Or wonders who I am
I’ll blend in, pretend again
When I’m really just a sham

You once stood by my side
Unmasked and unafraid
I didn’t learn, and now I yearn
Twas you that I betrayed

In the mirror, my reflection
Glances back at me, I sigh
For my eyes can see, in reality
I’m the one who said goodbye

Your name and mine, etched into trees

So many memories, swept with the breeze

We promised forever, but it just wouldn’t be

She came between us, and took you from me

No longer together, we grew distant, apart

Even though we remain, carved, in each other’s heart

I waited in autumn

Near our bench, for you

The leaves fell, floating

Reaching, never touching

The ground, filled with

Pine trees, shedding

Their coats of needles

And I, I could shed no tears

Watching, listening, not hearing

Is when I knew, you had gone

And this bench, shall remain empty

Forever and always, like

The emptiness, deep within my heart

Do I dare to dream, in morning light?

Or toss these thoughts aside?

Promises cast upon the sea

Swept away, with the evening tide

I walk along these rocky shores

In hopes that I may find

A trace of you, a subtle hint

Or something left behind

I stand here, chasing shadows

Found in the water’s swell

They circle close, around my soul

Then wish a fond farewell

Was it you I caught a glimpse of?

Can you see me waiting here?

Yes, I will stand upon this ocean

Til you let me know you’re near
