Love Is Never Enough

Your first words were so sweet and poetic;
and our first date so real and romantic.
Our first dance was so daring and dramatic
but now the tears that fall are traumatic...

You promised to stay forever with me,
and vowed that our love-life will forever be
a golden garden filled with glow and glee;
the memories of those moments sting me.

O how I miss the warmth of your embrace,
and the sparkling smiles on your face...
I lost your love between time and space,
now I see that love is not a romantic race..

I have been loved over and over again,
and found out that love is a pleasant pain.
True love guarantees no golden grain...
breakups do not throw love down the drain.

I now know the truth about hot emotions,
they fade away like the flowers of fashion.
What keeps us together is perfect knowlegde...
Ignorance is the bane of our broken bridge.
