Gone With Love

Gone, and gone with love!
Up forlornly went my breath
Down my body sank, of death 
I but recall, in love with you intensely how I fell 
And evermore was I there while you were unwell
I broke jokes to you to keep you calm
And I took care of you when you broke your arm 
I waited for you to admit that you love me
And to assure me that we would soon together be
I waited for you to discard your pride and take part
But I doubted that your love resided in a confused heart
And so long I cared for you till my love did decay
As I loved you in vain till the sun came and took me away!
Pity when I was gone I learnt that you loved me too
And that it was belated of time that I then be with you
Because now I’m gone, and with true love I’m gone!

Choene, A very well-done Prose Poetry write here indeed. I do enjoy your particular style of writing very much. You use imagery very well to accompany the expressionistic aspects of your verses and to further amplify the overall precision of your message. A "7" + "FAV"!! Great Work!! Best Always, Gary
