Time

For love there was a time 
That appeared to be sublime.
But I fear it was all for naught,
For tears were all it brought.

The love appeared true
Brought anger only to brew.
A heart cold and blue,
Loneliness grew and grew.

Time somehow comes to pass
Hurt and anger fade and die
A heart opens to chance 
And reaches for the sky.

The past is forever gone
And a new love lives on.
Time is on one side
With love in heart soul and mind.

Keep open your heart,
That you may come in time,
A love that’s once more
So completely sublime.

Thank you. It’s a bit odd. Normally it takes a great deal of thought, time, and more than a few rewrites but this one was penned in just a day.
