On Your Love

in the darkening twilight
i sit by my window
watching the stones grow cold

a fragment of my mind
grows frost all over the windowpane
thinking of the love i'd lost

it feels so hollow now
grass growing dead around the porch
front lights flickering

a breeze picks up
and carries my wounded pieces
over the plains of sunset

for you i would bleed
as the day turns to night
in between tides of beating hearts
