Saved By Her Love

I have feelings of supreme loneliness and hate
I can’t imagine being without them now
Heartache and extreme pain I know as of late
The happenings of forlorn I feel exactly how

I’m a product of being worse and of falling apart
Stepping around the hurt and the terror
I’m alone seemingly timeless in my heart
A state of horrible being as looking in a mirror

Graciously she enters into my disheveled life
The love she brings is greater than I’ve ever seen
Her heart comes to me and finally ends my strife
My heart is filled more than there’s ever been

Her love for me is more than what’s really shown
Greater than any passion that has ever been known

Russell Sivey

Thank you Russ for accepting my 5 lines.You have done a good job using this forms end rhyme..think about making the syllable count more regular [it's usually 10 BUT 12 is done too!] Read your verse outloud to see if you think the rhythm needs tweaking. Try to remove the [I] in at least line 1..perhaps start with the more reader invoving [Feeling of supreme loneliness and hate] which is 10 ;)..you are so kind to me I want to be of help to you too! Light & Love
