You exist
like an echo
that has left its sombre tone
across the landscape of my heart

Where a flicker of a flame
still burns
to breathe itself
into life once more
for you

Shall I shackle myself to this?
Put my faith into
the what might have beens
and hope for the best?

Or look towards the uncertainty
of tomorrow
And fear not what lies
inbetween the doubt and tears
that pave their way across my heart
and back to you…
