Lost Years

Location

> Forever mine,
> Forever yours:
> words littered on
> innocent shores.
>
> Those promises
> collapsed by waves,
> when washed away,
> they've carved our graves.
>
> You throw me back
> to times of dark
> when all I dreamed
> had bore love's mark.
>
> But in my wake,
> I knew the risk
> of your sham charm.
> It's electric.
>
> Sure, we were young
> and clung to love
> that soothed our pain,
> souls empty of
>
> tender songs that
> had shut our eyes
> from cruel misdeeds
> to soundless cries.
>
> Although I know
> no world binds
> my greatest wish,
> my love still finds
>
> a way to hum
> this incomplex
> and ebbing thought:
> "I love Alex"
