Vanishing Wishes

When my wishes vanished beyond the horizon,
lost to Death’s tragic ploys
and the lies that divided us,

My soul likewise descended into the abyss,
far beneath the light of day
and those things which brought us joy,

Giving up on the hope of forever with you,
bitter tears the only daily sustenance
which failed to feed me,

An aching in my heart that nothing takes away,
for the agony in this present moment
still refuses to leave me:

The sorrow the only friend who hasn’t left,
despite my attempts to make him go,
so despondency between us grows

As my eyes gaze toward those distant plains,
the rugged mountains a stark reminder
of those wishes which vanished away —

Leaving no hope for our future days,
but only the ache for a lost friend
that lingers deep in agonizing soul
until my only last remaining hope
is the wish to vanish with my wishes far away.
