*We part ways,
& the paths that we take
Lead us back to each other
Oh, how I suffer,
My rediscovered lover
Won't you please smother me?
Every time we say we're done
We'll still return for one more bump,
Take a bad hit of our drug
Then run back like addicts
So let's give this one last try
While my lantern oil runs dry
& I run aimlessly in the dark
Trying to find you
Pensive, I stare into this hourglass
Remissive, and reminiscent
of forgotten ever after
effervescently iridescent
Like flowing light observed through a prismastic prison
As my grasp slips,
sand will filter between my fingertips
And Ill swear with every falling grain
Someday they'll meet and create
a famous work of art
putting even Mona Lisa to shame;
Forged in the flames, of our eternal love
But in the blink of an eye, I'm buried;
Cemented in the sediment of time
Oh how I wish you'd carry me to the brink
Just one last instance, so I can feel alive again
While

I actually just rediscovered an early draft of this written in December 2010. Felt this deserved to be finished. The title is a sort of combination of the phrases "Such love" and "love once lost"
