Breathing in heavy air of lies, <br />Hiding grief in this bitter wine, <br />Finding beauty in porcelain strength, <br />Not enough to say goodbye. <br />Castles, built on the shards of dreams <br />Are just pain's another guise, <br />And my heart that was never whole <br />Will be wrecked by parting twice. <br /> <br />You are leaving and taking a part of me away, <br />You have followed the calling of once so precious days, <br />And my tears are pouring as Sunday morning's rain. <br />It's erasing the footsteps on our ways that crossed, <br />Now the rain will remind me of you - my greatest loss. <br />You are gone, and life's colors are fading. <br /> <br />It's the dusk of my brightest dawn - <br />Sunday morning. But life goes on <br />Under signs of submissive waiting <br />And greatly missing. <br />I'm a shadow of your light, <br />Giving up this internal fight. <br />You will always be out of touch, <br />But you're always mine in mind. <br /> <br />You are leaving and taking a part of me away, <br />You have followed the calling of once so precious days, <br />And my tears are pouring as Sunday morning's rain. <br />It's erasing the footsteps on our ways that crossed, <br />Now the rain will remind me of you - my greatest loss. <br />You are gone, and life's colors are fading.<br /><br />April Avalon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sunday-morning-20/
