Bittersweet Poem

Sunset

Me and her sit on the cliff edge,

as we watch the sun go down,

Our hands entwined and our smiles high,
as we watch the night spread,

She looks at me and I look at her,
and rays of light are covered by a shroud,

We lean closer just me and her,
when finally the night takes over,

She stands up with tears in her eyes,
and leaves me with only distraught,

as I lie down here with darkness over head,
Thinking only about her,

I remember the way her face looked,
and the smell of vanilla made me soar,

But just like many love stories,
I have lost my beautiful Lenore,

My heart aches and eventually breaks,
and darkness overtakes me,

But then I feel an arm draw me in,
and I realize it's my family,

My sister hugs me her face full of tears,
and tells me how she feels sorrow for me,

and I hug her back as we watch the dark,
flee in the face of the light,
