Love Lasted For Awhile

Fruitful with cheer I smile from over here She gave me a smile Love lasted for awhile Life is worth living She holds my hand forgiving I reach out to her She closes the door I open myself to her She doesn’t respond, I abhor We still carry on As if love can create a dawn I rely on her strength To get me through in length I hold her very close Even though our life is comatose Our relationship just died And I don’t know why It could be the distance We are apart this instance Leagues away from each other So far I cry; I’d rather Be separated too, so we agree We must end our spree Of lustful bliss, you and me Though we had moments of joy Now we are happier I employ Russell Sivey Story is made up, my wife and I are doing great!

lovely work on the hot and cold, passion staggers off, so long, so long you got your ration, moving right along, not dashing, crestfallen me ego crashing... just a waiting 4 the gong:)

I like this form for you, Russell...intense couplets of love and despair...Hate to say, but for me some of these lines do ring true...Love's rollercoaster ride can bring so much fun and pain...Just a great write from you once again! :) Gwendolen
