Beyond the serene shores......

The sun has set and there’s a crimson blush

The shores are serene but the heart is forlorn

Another day tormented by reminiscences of the yore

Another day filled with anguish burns the core

Thoughts of the past explode as one lends a sigh

There’s more to what meets the eye

Flowing tears has blurred the vision

But this, alas! Was the best decision

He has a sad smile as he reflects on the last bond  

He had turned back but she didn't respond

She cared for him or so he thought

But today in his mind he was full of doubt

There is warmth in the hearth and cheerful noises all around

But sadness blinds the eye and deafens all sound

 If only she’d sensed the hurt underlining his smile

If only she would've walked back that extra mile

Time has passed and life has moved on

Yet when darkness prevails, the heart is torn.
