Lost in Sorrow


The last rays of sunshine disappear 
as the dark clouds interweave,
The show ends, and the crowd leaves,
Left behind were dashed hopes and 
unfulfilled dreams scattered on the 
ground,
Next to the exit door was this unfulfilled 
dream, unwrapped and unbound.

An unchivalrous Knight abandons his 
Lady Love, breaking his promise, 
severing their bond,
Searching high and low, he was nowhere 
to be seen and nowhere to be found, 
He left behind a once cheerfully bright
soul, like a Spring Blossom, in a sea of 
tears drifting far and wide.

Her shattered heart helplessly looks 
on as memories slip like sand 
through fingers,
And while feelings of betrayal and 
abandonment still lingers,
In the garden of her heart where love
once lived, silence blooms,
Her body, painful and lifeless, cries 
out in agony from grief and sadness
that looms.

Seeking solace, she looks for a way
to escape and a place to hide,
Finding none, her heart cries silently 
knowing she must endure and muster
the courage to take the next stride.

How sad when love dies and we have to survive on our own, this poem makes me realize the value of eternal love and all its great power on earth.

I like this emotional poem with a bright conclusion that Lady Love will pick herself up and move on. And the Knight? I'm in suspense to what happens ? And suspense is a good way to energize the brain. Thank you for this exciting poem.
