Sent

i sent my love to her address
but it came back unopened
i sent my heart and soul to her
but they went unused and broken
i sent her all my sympathies
to heal her wounded heart
and i sent every holiday
with my presents and my art
but alas my love was no more
before i even knew
she took the place where i sent love
and left me so so blue
but i can give her something
that she can't refuse
something that i'll give her
no one else can use
i can give her tears
fallen from my eyes
i can give her longing
from a long and lonely life
i can give her mourning
in my own unique way
and i can give her memory
that will never go away

As I read the last line the only thing that came to mind was- "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" it was like an unintentional Burn. I love it.

A melancholy and solemn write, 'the situation'. Ah,this sounds like the pinnacle of all sadness and misery.:( Appears to be so very very real and not at all make believe. Oh well, best wishes; Keep well! Mikki

now this is romantic, but I'm surprised you didn't write about a certain person...yes, I like it, as I like most of your romantic pieces; there were only nine winners so you did very well (not that you'll think so! haha) congrats my dear :)
