~ Hollow Excuses… ~ 

☆

Mesmerizing excuses made, as a guise

You left, with hollow words in disguise

 *

Distances grew, a chasm wide and high

Memories of you, that refuse to die

 *

Those tears, woven in a shroud of pain

A heart, trying to heal itself but in vain

 *

Scars left in heart, a treasure to care

Forged in fire of parting, a legacy rare

 *

In a desolate land, I wander, lost & cold

Your memories, a catchy tale to be told

 *

Yet, in solitude, I hold on to what’s left

A heart, once full, now echoes, bereft
