I do not grieve
For having known of you
That strange, passionate
Part of you
That I have known;
Nor do I lament
For having as my own
That fragment of soul
You trusted me, tenderly,
For so short a while;
Nor do I mourn
For having pillaged
Immortality's open door
For remembrance
Of your smile.

I don't consider this dark at all, but instead, a lesson thanked...

fine piece, here...

I do not grieve
For having known of you
That strange, passionate
Part of you
That I have known;

I Wonder at the depth of perception.
Beautiful indeed!

Yet again Rex you've written my soul. How do you do it? Never mind, it's obviously talent which you have in abundance.  Breathless with amazement, you've stunned me again.

"For having pillaged immortality's open door" What an incredible line, and thought. Very impressive, but then, they always are.
