as quickly as your flame burst forth it died,
while passion melted ice around my soul.
I marveled at your love grown cold inside.
Fair ghost, you spooked, then left an empty hole.
Myself, I faulted for this turn of heart,
for surely, I was ripe for such a ruse.
I'd only dreamed the words right from the start;
when hope is list’ning fools hear what they choose.
Yet, memories still linger though I'm numb,
It matters not they lack veracity.
I thought myself the catch, but I've become;
another man with lost capacity.
Away you pranced in early morning's kiss,
and I hold on to sun, embracing mist.
