When twilight comes and chases away the light,

The echoes of loves lost chime on through the night.

The cascade of whispers keep flooding my mind,

The reflections I see make me wish I was blind.

My mind is an empty amphitheater that awaits the next show,

To showcase the truth I wish I didn’t know.

My candle is low and no longer bright,

I will let the darkness embrace me and take away my sight.

If dawn comes and I live to love another day,

Maybe she will come and chase the echoes away,

Someday.

      Very evocative poetry! If this was written from a personal perspective I hope a new love for you is on the horizon.
