If this be the end of the affair
The dregs on the bottom of the cask
Strong and bitter on the palate
Let us at least celebrate the event

Salute the conclusion in grand style
My dear friends in a common cause
Mugs hoisted at the ready cocked
Impatient for the host to set the tone

To the one that set my mind ablaze
With visions of a fairytale come true
And turned my heart to grayest ash
Deathly cold in the grimy hearth

To love’s sweet kiss upon trembling lip
To sighs that echo in the night
Breath upon breath in dawning’s light
Now shattered by deception’s ploy

You see this shell with glass in hand
Ready with a smile and final flair
So drink my friends this one last time
In memory of sweet nevermore

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

we all tend to put on the happy face for friends, oh pegasus, i hope that this isn't you and if it is that you are alright. i gave up the pretense that friends and families expected of me just a short time ago. for me things have taken a new direction and as always my heart is going to be tugged along. what are we if we can't love.

there is but a short time to exist, love,laugh,live and never stop believing in miracles

pegasus111:  A good piece of writing that really draws a person into what is happening. Bittersweet, as so much of life is.
