Midnight

Midnight haunts me with dreams
Leaving only a bitter taste
Of Time Gone by
Memories of a tiny girl's figure
Framed in locks much like the
Golden sun's rays
So hungry for attention
And demanding for all
Eyes on her
And she found this in him
His eyes of tender brown
Nearly consumed her youth
She was his world and
He was her life
And together they shared in love
And should she have
Known that no other
Would ever prove truer
Her curiosities would have
Surely been ceased and calmed
Her firey red locks now
Cut ragged to the chin
Frame only the tears
Falling gently on paper and ink
Blurring thoughts on a love now past
