Poem
You loved her with all your being, but she left you wounded Now you look at life without seeing, you feel your world has ended. You were twenty five, she was twenty three, young and strong yet hope ceased To find someone though both were free, for you have set your souls at peace She’d settle for unworthy men, so as not to be alone again You gave up on love even then, seafarer who won’t sail in vain. Your young hearts, alone and lonely, reaching out to humanity Paths have crossed though wanting only, to find your own identity With curiosity and suspense, each with bated breath and still Could listen to your pulse’ cadence, life’s void the other one could fill. She was to you the blonde patience, you were the man that she longed for Your pens spoke with great eloquence, biding the time to come ashore To see by the fireplace waiting, her radiant face and open arms With love that set hearts a' blazing, you found home in her dreams and charms. How sweet the taste of one’s first love, that not all preconceived notions Could have prepared you to think of, all the heated waves and oceans That you would sail with such bravery, secure in her warm embrace In her there is no drudgery, bliss in her kiss, soft bed and lace. But did you find true love indeed? It must have been the one question That plagued as thoughts ebbed and receded, lost love, desire and passion For you have shared your lives four years, just building all your dreams Holding to each other in tears, rejoiced in her triumphs and schemes. And yet she threw it all away, turned her back on love so sincere From your arms she went astray, went after what fed on her fear. Gave up the years of love so pure, after meeting another man Whose steadfastness she can’t be sure, as he abandoned his own clan. Still you loved and were always there, when she needed you ‘til the end During the storm you were her shelter, the lover whose love won’t bend. The past year you were just coasting, along the shores, not knowing when The wounds would heal and stop bleeding, wishing it’d stop right there and then. Daniel my brother you should start, forget her and what could have been Don’t let yourself fall apart, be strong, life’s more than what you have seen. Though you loved her with all your being, yet she has left you wounded Now for your sake you should be thinking, it’s been a year, you should have mended. From the story of Daniel, soul brother and friend, and the song by Elton John 01.02.15
