Lost

If I were to have just one wish, I'd wish for just one careful kiss Upon my lips-chapped though they be, Oh, Sorrow! That you can't love me. A softer silence settles fears, That you have been gone many years. Yet all my love stays in my chest For you, my love. Until I rest. Perhaps you were not 'the one' But from my heart you have not gone. Oh why! Oh why! Is love so cruel? Why over my poor heart you rule?

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.
