Sunset

And so he walked into the sunset

with no remorse, no pain

only a vague memory

of a dear old friend

All he carried with him

was his view of living

no need for food or water

just his own believing

There his strength resided

there his anchor lied

deep inside her heart

which used to keep him alive

As he wandered further

the pounding of her heart

faded away with him

until forever stopped

Destination was a riddle

destiny unknown

sad but true he never stayed

long enough for dawn

Her tears became his water

her breath became his air

he realized how much she gave

when she was no longer there
