Lost Love
The days grew longer as the night drew close,
I was never stronger, yet my sight morose-
The never-ending tale told was a sorry one at best,
forever the love grew stale as he put my heart to rest.
Alleviation seemed to die the second he walked away,
alienation was extreme when he didn’t meet me halfway-
The dissolution triggered a sorrow that will never leave,
no resolution was stated, now I borrow hope and I grieve.
Detachment from my soulmate leaves me alone and scared,
our enchantment turned to hate, he won’t atone and never cared-
My apprehension is that I shall never love again in my existence,
there’s no prevention for a dove who flies without resistance.
Reasons are unknown for this distressed separation,
seasons come and go, for I need rest from this situation-
I needed a deep connection with a strong loyal heart,
I pleaded for affection, but all along he knew we’d part.
I don’t think I will ever love as deeply as I loved him,
I won’t bathe here forever, completely sinking as I swim-
This loss I’ve endured will always prove my soul to be debilitated,
the cost I’ve paid will always prove my sorry life complicated.
Before I lay my head to sleep tonight I shall pray…
for one more day of dread to leave and go away.
Lost Love
