The Constant Heart

I love you with a constant heart 
Never questioning how or why
I was reborn within those glowing moments
Your haloed head bending down towards mine
You held me gently as a child
Sharing both our pain and pleasure 
We wandered the path of each others hopes and dreams
Where did we go wrong 
My steadfast protector?
Time has been our enemy
Together we struggled 
Sometimes coming up for air 
You went spelunking through my shadow
Finding me lacking
This cave is dark and empty.
