Send Me No Questions That Force Me To Lie

Send Me No Questions That Force Me To Lie Long ago our cherished love flew far, far away why I truly and simply can not ever say Could it have been my crushing , too caring Love stifling the wings of my precious turtle dove? Perhaps time just ate our passion on stale bread! others cleverly stole our lonely loves instead Or moonlight withheld it's glorious bright beams fate destroyed it ALL in ever darkened schemes Our Spirits simply and desperately fell apart our apples fell smashingly out of Love's precious cart! Stories told falsely on both our very busy nights lies born to set us to fiercely scold, argue and fight Send me NO questions that force me to lie! love so lost we couldn't restart even if we try cannons fired with too many lonely empty shells sweet paradise turned into dark , evil little hells Send me no questions that force me to lie love ran screaming from us and I know not Why! Robert L. 06-05-2014 Inspired by a previous write I did recently(Send Me No Insults When I Die) and based upon my real life and tragic loss of my 'first true love', a loss that almost killed me! The divorce from my first wife. Love thus killed dies a very hard , agonizing and terrible death... Thirty eight years later and it still leaves a deep cut!

Thank you Jayne. It surely made me cry as young man when going thru it all! Deepest blues that I ever knew, was in fighting the drugs she was so hell bent to do. Even the force of our united love failed to defeat them!! People on drugs can not control themselves, she was , I wasn't. Three year battled ensued , I lost but , but so did she!

Thanks Tim. I suspect you'll feel it however deep was the love that was so very unhappily lost.. Deeper the love , the deeper the cut, sad but true..
