A fragment of memory floats in my head of a time when your arms welcomed me like sun, good news, safe harbor but that time is passed and love burned away like a two inch candle. turned away into dead sea there is no lighthouse lit on shore. pain now swallows me up , the flame of being put out blinded  tears silently serenade my eyes as I  try to look beyond these sad moments that have placed my happiness under arrest sun rises slowly but there is no consolation nor meaning to the new day dreams have no weight into the present ,but emptiness I feel my steps repeating the space I need to tread, choking on pity with open eyes belief is gone
