I've tried
to bury you
but my feelings
are too deep
I've cried
over losing you
I'm still reeling
all your love
I want to keep
once upon a time
I felt inspired
those precious times
I closely held you 
that long gone sublime
when soul conspired
to make us one
when love was attired
with naked kisses
those glistening gems
that glimmering
dream time
when shimmering love
had flashed
it seemed love
had truly won
I've tried
to forget you
my long lost friend
but my heart
love did rend
cruelly torn apart
I'm mired
in that lost time
still feeling
what lost love
has cost
most of all
my soul is wracked
I wish I was free
but your love
trapped me
now what you find
what you truly see
is just a reflection
of that refracted man
I used to be
