Love Given No Chance

I told you my feelings were strong.
You told me the time was wrong.
But for you, I do still long.

There are so many things I’d like to say. 
But it never seems to be the right time of day.
 I weep, I cry, I wish I would have had the courage to just say goodbye. 

Every time I see you it hurts.
The time I spend with you makes me feel like dirt. 
Every now and then you seem to flirt.

You keep me so mystified.
I just can’t seem to open my eyes
You are still my biggest prize

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.

Thank you :) Sometimes it is easier to write from the heart, even when it has been broken!
