Roused from a dream,
Uncertain of reality.
Ghostly presence,
Fading from its haunting.

Gripped by passion,
Suddenly absent.
Passed away in the night,
Dead by day’s light.

Utopian skyline,
Shadows cast long.
Ideals float upwards,
Lighter than breath.

Buried in dirt,
Bodies burnt to ash.
Gravestones memorialize,
Love’s last longing.
