You Gave Me No Second Chance

You Gave Me No Second Chance All that I once so dearly loved, sweet joys blessedly known; crashed when push came to shove, are poor fair now that you are gone! Pain rips the cool from the winds, great sorrows fill my heart; once we were lovers, now it all ends as I pray for yet another start! An arm offered for your sweet kiss, you refused with a locked gate. All of you is what I dearly miss and I cry now because you hate! I begged for compassion yet again, your heart laughed with glee; I have no desire to only be a friend, you scoff at my tortured plea! Pain rips the cool from the winds, great sorrows fill my heart; once we were lovers, now it all ends as I pray for yet another start! Robert J. Lindley, 2-10-2016

Enjoyed the sincerity of this heartfelt apology. Your title definitely makes sense with this piece, but I also love the expression you made in this line: "Pain rips the cool from the winds" <<< quite vivid! Keep writing my friend, and thanks for the visit to my page ... appreciate the 7!

I love the line 'pain rips the cool from the winds', and feel that I shall probably remember it. A heart rending rhyme. Well done.
