The warm, dim light

In autumnal twilight

Sets the scenery

For a heart-breaking play

Strangled sorrow

Pains of two

Merciless grasp of loneliness

Uncompromising and endless

I miss the past

I miss the simpler times

Momentary images

And fragrances

To close my eyes

Detach myself

Sink into numbness

And reminisce

Cold streetlights

Damp asphalt

Take me away

Hide me

I can't stay eternally

Sunshine opens me

The feeling slowly

Fades away

Sometimes I feel

Every piece of misery there is

Powerless to avert my thoughts

I let it in
