Lost In the Wind

She had emerald eyes and golden hair A defiant look and an easy smile She spoke softly in a Southern style As we discovered we had things to share The time passed quickly as we fell in love Though there were times when we seemed far apart I sensed the sadness of a broken heart But the healing force lay in stars above Then came the day I never thought to see Low clouds masked the sunrise and she was gone I feared I'd never see another dawn And lost the feel of who I'd ever be It was a love built on a broken heart She fled to her past and broke another I gave her my all - she chose the other No point wondering just how to restart Now I have some time on my hands, my friend, And the bottle sits here on the table Have a drink and we'll peel off the label While I tell you of love lost in the wind 2-27-19 Contest: Enclosed Rhyme Sponsor:Emile Pinet
