The Heartless Night


The sun descended across the sky,
Warmth slowly diminished,
Coldness engulfed the city,

He sat there pondering alone,
His frail heart beating weak,
Cold,
Alone,

He stood up,
Walking by the river,

Shattered memory’s reflected,
He gazed into them,

Drawn into the lies,
False memory’s that was,
Yet wasn’t true,

The lie,
A misguided view of love,
Yet was it love or the idea?

For he searched for love,
So did he see it in a lie,
Or bitter words,
From a broken heart,

A pain to the heart,
He fell to his knees,
Seized his chest,

His heart full of pain once again,
Not truly knowing why,
Both wishing it to be the end,
Yet not to be,

The darkness engulfed him,
The night tormenting his mind,

On his knees he closed his eyes,
Holding the pain in,
Not letting anyone see,
He stood,
Walking by the river once more,
The moon smiling in the reflection,
Watching,
Waiting,

He alone just walked,
With the weak heart,
Shattered memory’s,
Eternally in pain,
Not knowing when it’s his last breath,
Hoping it soon,
Praying for it,
Yet wishing it never to pass.
