Brokenhearted

"We were strange in love, her and I. Too wild to last, too rare to die." - Atticus ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ She left me brokenhearted When we parted She loves no more She left me lone and crying Heart is dying I feel so sore She left my soul in pieces Now time ceases I barely live She left me sad and broken Words unspoken Won't she forgive? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ He left me brokenhearted He departed Can't live with me He left me in deep anguish Now I languish We couldn't agree He left me shattered and hurt I didn't assert My love for him He left me bare, my soul cries Tearful my eyes As chances dim ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We left each other too soon Our passions croon It's not too late We give it another chance Now our hearts dance True love's our fate ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 30th January 2023

Love conquers and it jumps over all hurdles. Glad, after the initial discrepancies, the two have reunited in love. Well written Jo
