Separate Ways

I left my love behind,
Like a star when sun arrives,
It flew away with you,
In a bruise the color blue.

I sleep in the heat of shade,
To a waterfall’s cascade,
Eyes closed in lonely thought,
Of love’s embrace now lost.

Life’s fumes in nostrils flare,
Whining sirens mark despair,
In distance hums of man,
My lonely walk began.

Written words my thoughts declare,
The ink stains show me bare,
Where my heart suffers most,
Love’s tumult locks it closed.
