He Who Once Was

The heart aches and breaks
Dying a thousand deaths
Reaching for the the future
While shackled to the past

The homeless heart
Trying to catch it's breath
The vast emptiness inside
That echoes your name

Starving for your touch
But memories forgotten
Inprints made on the heart
Swept away by borders and fears

Darkened souls
Enlightened by love
Leaving behind speckles of dust
On the rear view mirror of life

Reaching for the future
While shackled to the past
Hunger pains remain
But our love could never last
