"old Love Became Insignificant"

I’m astonished by the way things can happen in life
There I was offering her the best friend she could ever hope to have;
But opportunity remained locked behind closed doors.
And I wonder if Nostradamus perhaps lined up the stars?
And it is that which affords a friend who has her ear such high regard?
Perhaps logic dictates that my love might never have had substance.

And the wind knocked down the notice; welcoming love’s tenants. 
Then the rain overtook the wind; and the floods became a menace. 
    And caught up in a down pour; old lovers looked for shelter; 
    With no where left for them to hide; revenge then rose to swelter. 
And as I sit here staring; at another effort blotched; 
My tears swell up to blur my sight; and I have no eyes to watch.
