No Love Lost

Times are so very different You and I are no longer on terms of endearment As twisted as it may sound My love for you is continual Although, my adoration, trust and respect Now are all conditional We produced a miracle six years ago That miracle personified the essence of my existence My love flows bottomless for your role In my son’s earthly presence For that, respect I yield to you at any cost I thank you deeply and eternally There was No Love Lost Remember when your smile Could melt my heart on command I adored you immensely It was an honor to be your man Trust was our real dilemma And the catalyst for our marital implosion Respect was infected terminally Leaving nothing to build on …only Traces of ash from love’s corrosion Reality suggests, our foundation was built on lies Consequently, it crumpled ferociously plummeting hard to the ground Still there was No Love Lost True love for us…really was never found

Some times I wish life was simple as we are sorry ... we never see eye to eye again when severed ... emotions become polarized ... it takes superhuman sacrifices then to keep fragile friendship intact ... god bless your heart with that strength ... and may your son and your dreams prosper as your talent ... wounded love never sleeps.

Des Juan, I have read this write over and over & every time that I read it, it stirs something within me, you are a very powerful writer, and I truly feel your pain, thanks for your kind words regarding myself it is truly appreciated, this soup is a healing for the soul, because even though you put your personal information on this site through your writes, no one is judging you & it's like a catharsis- a healing, I kept thinking about this write even after off the computer, keep writing D-nyce

Des Juan, I am truly sorry that your relationship did not work out, but whatever the reason, try to be cordial to each other for your son's sake, I have been at the place where you are now too many times to count, just trying to get ove a failed relatioship right now, and it's hard, because I am a good person and a good woman, but anyway this is a remarkable write, I feel your passion and your pain in this write, I truly love the way your writes flow,

Hello Des Juan!Thank you for the comments. Relationships take alot of work in keeping them together.When they break up there's alot of mean-ness in the air.no love lost shows an unconditional love/respect.although you had to go separate ways.This poem can be a lesson well learn. B BLESS Crystal
