POEM: Sunset

I watch the sunset 
And I think about my departed love. 
You are beyond the horizon 
And I can’t see you anymore. 
I wish I could touch the sun 
When it touches the earth, 
 And I wish the horizon 
Could bring you back to me. 
But it’s only an illusion 
And I will never see you again. 
You are beyond the horizon 
And you are not coming back, 
My heart is lost into the darkness of the night.
