No Love

I held him close And kissed his lips, Desperate for love, For the man I married. But he was gone, And I knew it. His heart was replaced by another; He's now a man cold and hard, Unloving and depressed, And I knew he was never coming back. He did bad things now, Broke the law, Went to jail many times, But I never knew why. I don't know what happened, Or why he acts the way he does. But after I kissed him That one last time, I walked away To find someone else Who would love me like he used to. Like I was special. Like I was important. Like I deserve to be loved.

I think a lot of us on here have loved and lost...it's a sad but true reality of life. Great write.

Wow! This one really hit close to home with me. I think you just described my ex wife! But she cheated and tossed 19 years out the window. I so understand these lines, they bounce in my soul and remind me of those days. Lucky for me, I now have the true love of my life, my real soul mate and I could not be happier.
