Nickcoleeta Cruso Poet Free verse

Love That Got Away

Moments of happiness,

Stolen glances,

Golden smiles.

Life was thrilling with you.

You moved my heart,

Stirred my soul.

Then you stole my heart

and became my soul’s mate.

You gave me life,

My living Prometheus.

Your fire

Delivered straight from the heavens.

Your flame

Dances around me,

And When it flickers I get burned.

But I watch the flame

unwavering.

I am drawn to it for its beauty,

But I know it is dangerous to touch,

Forbidden.

And I live with past memories

Of forgotten shared moments.

I do not speak

for words betray what’s hidden.

Silence is golden,

But turns easily to brass.

Old and tarnished,

I fade into obscurity.

You’re still here with me,

And I am reminded everyday,

That I am regrettably yours

Forever.

But you’ll never care.

You are the love that never got away.
