More in Painfully grinding back into gear
watching her let go
I felt like posting this old one after reading Mr. Sandman [article=8789] by Sinnaminsun.
Sunrise left me stranded chill breath breaks frost
Steely eyes watch you depart his touch
Pine needles in my blurred vision sting
A river of rain painfully washes over
Motionless frozen to earth swaying with the trees
Imprinted my mind laughter an echo
Knocking me over once more slighted by joy
Rotting within my broken illusions cut
Turning to depart looking back once more
Your voice a whisper eyes burning my soul
Into the night escape the memory
Swallowed by the dark buried by shadows
I abandon hope and depart from tears
That were foolishly spent wasted on you

I didn't know my poem "Mr. Sandman" was still posted here...Anyway I enjoyed reading your poem and especially liked this stanza:
Turning to depart
looking back once more
Your voice a whisper
eyes burning my soul
Into the night
escape the memory
Swallowed by the dark
buried by shadows
