Great Love Lost, Truth Only Then Found

Great Love Lost, Truth Only Then Found Where was I, journeying when I lost her heart, a stranger to tragedy and great pain! She that once healed me has now torn me apart, wading wastelands of despair almost insane. Where was I, when walking stone path so blind, traveler seeking waste of lust and greed! A damn fool devoid of care and looking to find, that which I so stupidly thought I need. While her faithful love battled to stay alive, my desires raced onward into dark deeds! She that gave all her love to help me survive, watched me in error sow my wild seeds. When did I, wake to this hell, long nightmare, a cut beast all set to moan and bleed! Crying out in misery how my life is so unfair, still forgetting her pain and need. When will, my soul lead me from my sad plight, a victim of my own lusts and dark acts! A beast screaming out for help in plain sight, only now getting truth and the facts. Where was I, journeying when I lost her heart, a stranger to tragedy and great pain! She that once healed me has now torn me apart, wading wastelands of despair almost insane. R.J. Lindley April 9th, 1975
