THE PRESENCE

Shattered I stood by the window pane

Letting the gloom of my spirit rain..

Empty darkness, the promises vain

Went vanished to, leaving me lane

Ever did I feel this deep for nane

Never did I foresee, Oh, it was a lain!

Fixing broken pieces together again

I spent my life worth no gain

In sake of a love that you did feign

It was my soul that you had slain!

Broken yet certain, slashing my vein

Darkness crawled upon the life chain

People out yelled, Oh, she was insane!

But lost in your thoughts, death was never a pain

The blues of those old autumn nights did wane

Off did the memories with monsoon showers rain

Over time you found your new love life fain

Maybe you'll never complain or try explain

Yet none ever knew in the dark out the lane

When the winter nights fall behind that unseen bloodstain

That the cold of a frozen blotch of black does remain

As I still stand smiling by your window pane.
