Lone Wolf

Here is a poem I wrote a few weeks ago. Let me know what you think.

Lone Wolf

When I dream of you,
All I see is white.
The skies are still blue,
And darkest at night.

The memories I buried,
Are turning to dust.
My burdens you carried,
Return with the dusk.

Once you set my heart on fire,
Now it’s a dwindling flame.
You filled my life with desire,
Now everything’s the same.

How can I say something that’s old,
And turn it into something new?
I wanted you to love me without being told,
Maybe you wanted the same too.

What was holding me to you was fear,
Of repeating all of my hurt and my pain.
Once I even thought you were my cure,
From all the loneliness and all my shame.

With the closeness of your absence,
I’m finally at ease.
Tonight I’ll have to dwell in silence,
But I will be free.

Though the tears of tomorrow,
Will drown me in sorrow.
In love I’ll continue to believe,
And hope’s light I still see.

I’m finally ready to let you go,
But first I want you to know.
I’ll remember that day in September,
When we finally found each other.

Good-bye my lone wolf,
Chase after your moon.
And very very soon,
You’ll have your proof.

Love does conquer all.
