Lament

I feel lonely - abandoned
   this solitude is hard to bear,
   no one knows how I feel
   my love for you is not returned!

  every word you spoke - a knife
  that bled my heart.
 I thought we were in harmony
 and now are miles apart.

 You will not find a kinder heart
 that beats for you and no one else,
 I was yours and always would be
 Ifyou had loved me half as much
 as the love I had for you.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
