Never Know

The saddest sunset I've ever seen
Shines the last of light on broken dreams

The love I have is not the love I want
But it holds me back, the love is daunt

I want you, can't you take a chance?
Won't you let me have one dance?

I know it's hard, please just see
That I need you, do you need me?

You are the dawn of my darkest night dear
The last petal on the flower
Please take a chance and see, love,
Please love me in my blackest hour.

I am enjoying reading the very diverse poetry here this morning in my Soupland. Words pouring onto paper from poets souls. What a joy to be able to sit and read such wonderful poetry for awhile today. Have a very good day Alex. Love, Carol

There's just something about settling for 2nd best. You'll always know it's true though.. Great write!
