When Love Died

When love died “we” died You told me that you and I changed You told me love had changed But you and I did not change, You and I walked away and “we” got lost When you and I went in opposite direction It tears “us” apart and “us” was left broken And broken cannot be fixed Broken cannot be glued back together When you walked away “us” ceased to exist Because there was no longer “we”. Even though there was never “I” in “we” or in “us” The only thing that kept us together The one thing that made “u” and “I” to be us, was no more. I saw it in your eyes as you turned and walked away You forgot how I swept you off your feet. I saw a blank emotion in you Even though your soul was graceful I was intrigued because “we” was broken The one thing that made “u” and “I” to be us, was no more When love died “we” died. And so ends the chapter.

Your free verse poem is good! It's sad too, but the exploring of all aspects of I, you, we, is wonderfully done. Welcome to Poetry Soup. :)
