You'Ve Lost That Loving Feeling

You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling

You left me like Alice, lost in Wonderland,
running in circles with my heart in my hand.
I thought our love was so beautiful and strong.
Tell me, please tell me, where did I go wrong?
Have I lost my luster, and I’m no longer thrilling; 
or have you simply lost that loving feeling?
Wretchedly, I’ve watched you slowly slipping away;
with no pride left, I’m down on my knees to pray.
I’m begging, baby, sweet baby, please come back; 
even though you left my heart mummified in black.

Ignoring my pleas, you walked out the door,
slashing my heart to pieces, hurting me to the core.
Yet, I can’t fathom why it’s you I still adore. 
It’s killing me ‘cause my heart can’t stand the pain…
the kind that pierces like silver bullets of rain.
But only God knows why I still want you so badly;  
my love, give me another chance and I’ll do anything gladly.
Yeah, you may have found someone new,
but every beat of my heart beats only for you…
so please, please just love me like you used to do.

WoW! Pandita, This is such a good poem for the contest theme. You complimented the song and more with your exceptional lines. I was transported to a time when I longed for an old flame to "love" me again. At the time I would have done anything for his affection again. I was young and naive at the time. These days I say "Hit The Road Jack". I wish you the best of luck in the contest. PS, I was not familiar Cecelia Black's cover of song. I was only aware of The Righteous Brother's cover.

Thank you, my friend, for your lovely feedback and compliments! Like you, when I was younger I would get hung up on boyfriends - now that I am a little wiser and more experienced, I have learned when to let go! :-). Have a beautiful day! Hugs and love. Pandita
