Years for us have not always been kind,
yet, without fail, you live on in my mind.
You are my center and my shining star,
though I must love you now from afar.
So many thoughts roil inside me,
so many branches reach from the tree.
But always I find you amid the jumble,
willing, my love, to take another tumble.
The moment my eyes saw your face
I knew I had fallen without hope or grace.
Now as I grow older, here alone, bereft -
loving you, good or bad, is all that's left.

Impressive. Your word choice and imagery really get the point across. I can sense a feeling of hopelessness in this. It's tough being alone but loving someone else. Very good job. Thanks for entering and best of luck!
