No Love

I held him close
And kissed his lips,
Desperate for love,
For the man I married.
But he was gone,
And I knew it.
His heart was replaced by another;
He's now a man cold and hard,
Unloving and depressed,
And I knew he was never coming back.
He did bad things now,
Broke the law,
Went to jail many times,
But I never knew why.
I don't know what happened,
Or why he acts the way he does.
But after I kissed him
That one last time,
I walked away
To find someone else
Who would love me like he used to.
Like I was special.
Like I was important.
Like I deserve to be loved.

I think a lot of us on here have loved and lost...it's a sad but true reality of life. Great write.

Wow! This one really hit close to home with me. I think you just described my ex wife! But she cheated and tossed 19 years out the window. I so understand these lines, they bounce in my soul and remind me of those days. Lucky for me, I now have the true love of my life, my real soul mate and I could not be happier.
