More Cruel Than Death

Your selfish love tore me apart, A silent pain whips my heart. My beauty shall not grow again, With passing time youth was done, I am no more like summer sun, You walked away gave me pain, My love for you, all went in vain, Your memories, wish I had none. Like a tree all bare, Lost, I fear in wilderness My golden days too shall pass Regrets will die too I didn't know your love could be Hurtful, more cruel than death.

that risk known as Love....it can take you so high above....or it can drop you further than the abyss....it can weaken just as well as it strengthens i must insist....each of us makes the choice....so when you see the bad signs, it is best to use your voice....i Love your message and the way you put it all together with the format and the layout meenakshi....;)

sometimes love can end up being more cruel than death because it never DOES actually die. It lingers on and on UNTIL we die. Beautiful sentiments and very touching poem. thank you and be blessed! :) -luloo
