The Breakup, Love Words Wasted

The Breakup, Love Words Wasted You stole away my picture when I sent gentle love to you words I gifted in sweet refrain you didn't have a clue I saw so much left untouched and so desperately unsung words were stillborn , lover's bell so sadly never rung I sang my heart out to catch your sweet angel eyes! you left me crying for love with only heartache in my pies Writing sweet melodies to match your favorite tunes you left me thirsty for more in your hotly deserted dunes You stole away my picture as my words fell so very flat Don't you know love and gentleness is where it is really at? I saw the winking of those so pretty blue angel eyes you left me wanting sweet kisses without your pretty lies Now love sent you a new victim to make your very own You'll starve him for your loving right down to skin and bone I want back my loving picture so foolishly given to you Keep the envelope , it is far more , than you are ever due!

Thank you Olive...That write was inspired by a previous breakup from decades ago. Amazing how one can call up memories be they good or and and then write out the words felt. Highly therapeutic too.

sad write.. i love the first two stanzas...:)sometimes it really hurts when we offer love but we don;t get any.. however, we must accept it and somehow deal with it.. anyhow love's greatest realization is freedom.. and selfless..
