Magenta lingers on hollow ground,
voices drift for a finial moment.
As your footsteps fade into yesterday,
I will shed a simple tear for you.

Oh the last two lines really tugged at the heart-strings! Really liked the fading of the footsteps. It was a clear and simple image.
Thankyou for entering my contest! Good Luck!
