O love

I thought we were a thing, 
But I never knew there was something.
Something you did want to share,
For you thought I didn't want to hear or care. 

Now the memories we shared are gone, 
They were to last for a generation.
Oooh no they were just heart desires,
The love to us was more powerful than livewires. 

Love hurts and it's a complicated thing,
It leaves holes and one wish.
Wishes that never come true,
Only mother's love is true.


The pain in my heart is unbearable,
And the hatred I have is not measurable.
That creature has drowned me in a pool,
A wise man once said it for the fool.

O love, o love where did I go wrong?
What happened? I thought we were getting along.
The outcome must be accepted,
Even though it's not what was expected.

Hello David Chege, Hi! Two people deeply in love. years goes by. then one partner cheats on the other. I sense that partner fell out of love and decided to cheat. It is the person that cheated is in the wrong. It is not the other person that is hurt. This person will heal in time. then move on. Happy New Year. /Darlene/.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Hello David, I loved how your poem is about the complexities of love, its highs and lows, and the pain of unmet expectations. What a raw and heartfelt exploration of betrayal and loss, revealing the deep wounds left by shattered trust. Your words speak to anyone who has experienced the anguish of a broken heart, the fragility of love, and the importance of resilience. A wonderful eflection on the human experience of love and its aftermath. - Blessings, Daniel

Fickleness in love affairs is common. Your poem highlights the devastation that can occur. It is a fine poem that makes me sad.
