A bleak and dreary atmosphere
My saddened eyes behold
The once felt warmth deep in my heart
Reflects insipid cold.
How could the bright horizons
Dissipate into thin air?
How could our dreams and promises
Scatter in such a flare?
The feelings of enchantment
Are replaced by pain and woe,
Snuffed as if a candle
That once burned all aglow.
The luster's gone from twilights' stars
That shone down from above,
Gone but not forgotten,
Safe in memory of love.
