Loss of A Lover

Weehawken NJ

Description

Ryter Roethicle's "Sempre Oscurita." "The loss of a lover breaks your heart Scattering your soul Into the grey hole of Purgatory No longer destined together to Heaven And never deserving of Hell. It scourges the body and flays the flesh Til only the bones remain as a useless skeleton That once was a vibrant loving being Dashing through the waves On the soft sandy beaches of love. Now the tide has receded And the sand is coated in bitter salt From tears of loss and recrimination. Time like the tide will wash away tears But will never be able to fill the empty heart."
