Life and Love

Life and Love He left me alone without a choice My heart will not again see love So I was told by my inner voice I sat to cry out to God above If my life had passed by me here If I hadn't known this cold I wouldn't have sat and shed a tear Over the diamond ring I sold You wouldn't have talked to me that day I wouldn't have come to know your heat Many fish in the sea, there is, some say But when I'm with you I am complete If my life had passed by me here If I hadn't known this cold I wouldn't have sat and shed a tear Over the diamond ring I sold I know that my heart, it's still alive Cuz it burns bright, yes it's on fire You're the air I breathe to survive Please don't ever leave, I will expire If my life had passed by me here If I hadn't known this cold I wouldn't have sat and shed a tear Over the diamond ring I sold So I take the hand that I've been dealt I take all the lumps and pound them down The reason for those tears, what I felt Is no more, you're the one who wears the crown

Thank you. Taking a self Expressions class on another poetry website. One of the assignments was to write a letter to yourself at age 13. There wasn't much more instruction than that. So of course most people are going to warn themselves about something to do or not to do. The next assignment was basically assume that this warning changes your life. Explain how it changes. This is what I wrote for that second assignment. I will also share the first if people want to see it.
