Zyrool Gifford Poet Free verse

Just for a moment

In your company, beautiful 
memories were made,
A love we once shared has 
faded,
These words in your letter, I wish 
I hadn’t read,
Just for a moment, my heart bled.

In a brief space, our world did spin 
and love’s flame did soar,
But now time's cold breath says 
no more,
Cherished moments on the road we 
tread will be in the past,
Just for a moment, I wish the dye
hadn’t been cast.

Whispers of love buried deep,
In memory, they will now sleep
In my heart, a scar lies open
within,
Just for a moment, I thought,
True Love doesn’t always win.


Quote: True Love

True love 
happens between two hearts 
Flowing from season to season 
Forming a strong bond that 
bends 
But once broken rarely ever 
mends.
