Together

You saw the bad

Because you could

The world was against you

Misunderstood

I was your candle

Against the night

A small sense of hope

A tiny burst of light

But I have failed you

My light is gone

You sit in the dark

But not alone

Beyond Melancholy Island

Trespassing memories

clutter my thoughts

Horizon to Someday

beckons my soul

Already

your wake has faded

beyond Melancholy Island

Still, I remain

without your promise

to return

Still, I wait

near yesterday’s edge
