A LOVE LOST

by Jenny Lynch

Across the shore, his smile,

Embedded in my mind.

Across the sky, his eyes,

Shining up to the stars.

The one we spoke about shines brighter than ever

Beaming onto earth,

An unseen force

Holding together the two in a million

Only William ever portrayed.

Across the desert, his voice,

So soft ,

Enticing a tear to my eye

With one simple breath.

Across this page I struggle to see

These words I'm straining to find.

So choked up are they,

So incredibly tangled up am I

In the depths of these emotions.
