First Sunset

So long ago, and after so many seasons,
I am still unsure of my reasons.
Her words of wonder of which I set aflame;
Love, strength, and comfort they did contain.

My back had turned on my first sunset,
Before it starts, my first love ends.

Violet hues,
The darkened blues...
Cascading...
I am changed.

I am haunted by her memory;
Her touch, her kiss so sweet.
Honest words she spoke to me,
Cared not I; I chose to disbelieve.

Jealous words of another cloud the setting sun.
The first tears of my broken heart had just begun.

The storms of life
Bring from the sky,
Rain,
To wash away the pain.
