Half-Empty Love

Half empty love, a bitter truth, A tale of pain and love uncouth, Of relations that failed to last, Of hearts that shattered like broken glass. Flipped coins and cents of life, A gamble that caused us strife, A love that promised joy and bliss, Now just a memory that we miss. We thought we had it all, A love that would never fall, But soon it crumbled to the ground, A painful ending that left us bound. Back-stabbing and hurtful words, A love that flew away like birds, A trust that was broken and betrayed, A love that died, and memories fade. Now we're left with half-empty hearts, Trying to make sense of broken parts, Wondering if love was ever true, Or just a dream we once pursued. But through the pain, we'll find a way, To love again, and see a brighter day, To learn from past mistakes and strife, And find a love that's worth the flip of life.

Heartbreaking poem - pun intended. Yes, love is a she-dog, but there is nothing comparable to love. Enjoyed your last line, "And find a love that's worth the flip of life." Keep flipping till it turns up heads.
