Love Story - Poetry Contest

My love, you roped all the stars for me My life you held in your hands As children we swam in cold blue seas Sculpting castles in warm wet sands My fairy tale prince in childhood dreams Certain that I’d marry you You garnered my sun and my moon beams Time passed, my love only grew Entrusting whispered secrets to keep Guarding hopes and dreams with care Twin souls in love, impassioned and deep No doubts you’d always be there Alas forever, was meant to be Three days before we were wed A fool and drink took your life from me I wanted to die instead Such pain I’d never known in my life My soul surely broke in two My heart was pierced with grief’s jagged knife The seam of my life unglued My heart, my soul, I’ll miss you forever I feel you though I can’t see My tears will fall 'til we’re together Without you I'm half of me.
