Another Discarded Love

Another Discarded Love 

I was in love once 
I thought it was most perfect
At first it seemed so 

But lo and behold 
Like all good things it turned bad
Maybe it was me

I am not perfect
But you weren’t perfect either 
We almost were though

It ended with pain
Pain from the blade and the heart
Tears fell from your eyes

I think of you a lot
Sometimes I even ask about you 
They tell me you’re fine

I still want our love 
I still wish for it every night 
I still wish for you

I can feel the pain and longing in this piece, Jack. Your poetry is honest and raw. Always, Laura
