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, 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.
