Vanished

Don't Speak, don't Stare
your heart can no longer bear the overwhelming burden
a shocking truth you refuse to acknowledge
irreplaceable as it may be,
a love never so passionate

Can't go back, look back to what is left behind
forget the dreams; nightmares in disguise
searching for a better day, a new hope
you may never find one so alike
yet so inexplicably different

Passion lasted as long as it could
but the horrifying truth was inevitable
it was lost,
missing,
vanished with the midnight tide

Washed away, never to be found again
all you can do is hope for sunlight
in a seemingly never-ending blanket of darkness
take a step towards a new life
