#TANKATUESDAY Weekly #POETRY CHALLENGE NO. 266, 3/22/22, #THEMEPROMPT – Fire and Water

Visions of empty room

The love used to blossom

And the moon was promised

Hope came but left too soon

He’s not being honest

Visions of empty room

Started with smoke now fire

And water can’t stop it

And he left, just like that

We thought, it’s best to split

Visions of empty room

No matter what I do

No matter where I look

Pieces of him still there

Like my world was shook

Visions of empty room

And with the help of time

I’ll be brave and move on

He’ll just be ghost and gone

I look forward to dawn*
