Jacob Jones Poet Quatrain

The End of Contentedness

Why did you send her?
Was she some sort of test?
As visions of her dance through my head
A silent scream erupts from my chest

I had life figured out
I thought I understood
I was content
Everything was good

Now that I know of her
Her absence is pure hell
Now that I know true happiness 
Without her I will never be well

It shouldn’t have happened
But we both decided this was true love
When I look at you
It’s as if you were sent from the heavens above

God took the blueprint
Straight from my head
You showed me heaven 
When “I Love You” you said

Your eyes tore through me
Looked straight into my heart
I knew I loved you
From the very start

You told me too
You said you knew I was the one
Life is too short 
We should not be done

In order to be together 
We must in inflict pain
Will others sorrow 
Be worth our gain

We decided 
To be noble was the way to go
What lurks behind these sad eyes?
Only she will know

I’ve known the heaven 
Of true love under the dark night sky
Now I know the hell
Of helplessly watching the same love die
