Memoirs of Mourning You

Your childhood abode left scars unhealed that I yearned to kiss and make better. That sense of abandonment I recognized As I too grew up feeling unwanted, unloved. I beheld the tenderness in your sweet soul The way you showered your dogs with love Melted my heart, as flames began to burn instantly. The vision of your handsome face danced in my Mind day and night with the melody of love. I knew intuitively that oneday we would be together And I would bear your children, bonding us forever. My dreams came true and I felt our damaged souls Would taste years of long-lasting redemption. Sadly I could not tame the wild spirit in you that would Venture off into unknown territories leaving me And our children behind to morn your loss. After 12 years of prayers and hopes your love faded Into a ghostly remnant of what had once felt so blissful. We both endured such pain in parting, and sorrows Followed you with a dark shroud clouding your vision. When you asked me to come back to you is now but A bittersweet memory because I found my Knight Who galloped to my rescue and cherishes only me. Sometimes love is not enough and we were not to be. 9-10-19 ~Second Place~ Sometimes love is not enough Poetry Contest Sponsor Silent One
