Solace trickled downstream into a ravaged heart,
Where scars and blood weaved a graphic art.
Within, were gnawing, lonely rings,
They sounded high in empty winds.
Where I sit with myself, I see brilliant fragments.
I see myself with her, and our merry entanglement.
I see joy, and play, and love and cheer,
But fragments fade, I lose all that I endear.
My final days were not rain, but maple and snow,
When ice turned red giving a soft, faint glow.
The tears left flakes, the stars mourned and wept.
A man who suffered of all the love he kept.
