Once we were beautiful

now we stare ashen eyed

across the room I once ran through

dutiful skies lay

at the back of my mind

I would have stayed

still I leave here anyway

there were stars in my eyes
but they werent the ones
that i gazed upon with you

and the wondering why
universe appeared so huge

comparisions from here to then
it all fades to black.

Thankyou for all your kind words. In loss, memories of the beautiful times never cease, and sometimes cloud the view of how it really was. we shared beautiful moments, but i ignored all that was wrong.

i really do appreciate your replies, you make me feel like smiling again.
