Selflessness
The chilled night air
burned my skin with a vengeance
As you walked away,
I fought back the tears bravely,

Small frozen droplets
on my cheeks formed reluctantly,
The moon slowly lowered,
as did my heart forever more.

You were my world
Your loss chips away at my soul,
like the stone my heart is now
A soul that hope abandoned,

Whose star was extinguished
Passion can burn out,
even if emotions linger like smoke
You see we had our time,

too bad it wasn't an eternity
To love at all is better
thinner having a chance
We should count our blessings,

that we found one second of passion-
in a world where time was fleeting,
May you find your guiding star,
with an angel on your strong shoulders.

Then I will be at peace
knowing you have found true happiness.
