Lost Light

The soft light that shines
so bright in those dark green eyes,
somehow went away
leaving me here all alone
wondering why it faded.

My heart needs to know
why your warm love turned so cold
while the love I hold
still burns with passion and want
consuming my heart and soul

Rosepetals(beautiful name, by the way)
I feel your pain in your poem. I have been there, and am still there more often than not.
Beautiful writing. Stay strong.
