Loved and Lost, and Found Again

12-23-10 @11:06am

to have loved and lost is an unbearable pain
relieved only when one finds love again
not the kind of love gotten from a friend or a pet
but the real true sort is what it takes to get
out of the funk brought by on this hurt
and pick one’s feelings up out of the dirt
one must be careful not to let one’s self fall
what they think is “in love” with any or all
suitors that might just happen their way
or they’ll end up in more pain at the end of the day
so if you find true love, then nurture it fully
don’t be jealous or spiteful, or some kind of bully
keep it safe and warm in the depths of your heart
and you won’t fear losing it, for it will never part
from a soul that cares for it, and tends to it’s needs
and love will reward you by dropping it’s seeds
in the core of your being, as well as your mind
and the blooms they produce will allow you to find
that life can be grand, and blissful as can be
i know this to be true, ’cause it all happened to me
