Lost Love
She thought about all that she had given up... her family, friends, financial security
She recalled the sacrifices she had made... no job, no money, heartless and cruel in-laws
She remembered the love that she had given.. pure, selfless, unconditional and true
For what..?
How had it come to this..?
Her perfect life.. perfect man.. perfect love..
Swiftly disappearing like quicksand through fingers
The more she tried to hold on..
The harder she fought..
The faster it slipped from her grasp
She thought she could make it right; after all love conquers all
But time proved her so wrong
She went through the stages:
Denial..........this could not be happening to her
Anger..........how could he do this? she didnt deserve it
Bargaining....please reconsider please dont do this
Depression...how was she going to make it all alone?
Acceptance..it was all over
Even then...
She didnt understand it...
She still didnt get it
All she knew was...
Hope was gone..
Faith was gone..
Trust was gone..
Love was gone
