Camphor

Once you gave a toast of
Your tender heart.
We lost in the abyss of
of divine bliss.
Time went on
ripples after ripples.
Your heart got black.
I felt sting of your kiss.
The meadows haveĀ 
turned into desert.
Now you've gifted me abhor,
with much care and love.
I don't exist more
living like a camphor..

Your poem is rich in both emotion and pain. The reader can understand this. Nice work. Thanks, Jane

Great title, and quite a piece of sound emotion lying dormant within its lines.?
