Two songs which motivated me to write this poem. The musical notes helped me a bit, bittersweet seems to be a topic that keeps coming up in my life right now. Lost love. An interesting subject matter.
------------
There are no more sounds
Nor a glimmer of life
Only bittersweet memories
Dust and growing darkness
Broken glass sweep the floor
As faded wallpaper peel off walls
The foggy air blocking, choking
Your heart has all but forgotten
No love awaits you here
Yet you wait patiently for love
Time has escaped you
Your mind knows all but truth
One sparkle, an old photograph
Left carelessly hanging
Dancing with death
Or is that the wind?
A familiar face
Oh yes I know you
I've always known you
Have you always known me?
I look at you and have one hope
one moment one wish
for you to look me in the eye
and tell me its over.
