Pallid Love

Draped in smothered velvet upon window sills
staring out at the lake beyond the cool, tinted glass.
Darkened forests in the midnight, deer and rabbit rest.
I cannot sleep tonight, I think, with my cheek pressed against the barrier.
What a world could be out there, could I only think.
A calligraphy of stars and the moon illuminate the sky
the sky I can see but barely feel in my heart.
My heart feels the wind slipping through the bare crack of window, open.
My heart feels it's cold icy hands wringing it, embracing the cold of the wind.
The cold of your love, abandonment.
As the dark deepens in the sky, stars begin to fade.
My heart tells tales of the cascade of your lies;
The caustic remarks my brain told me, but heart said not to bother fixing.
Err is human, I should forgive the unwilling of nature.
The water of the lake looks back to tell the night is giving weight to morning, that i should turn away.
I lost all interest in the world after you deceived me, masquerading as a knight.
A pallid love, you lost interest as I fell further down the line.
