A Love Lost

Published by Family Friend Poems May 2022 with permission of the Author.

I'm sure it won't be easy repairing my poor heart.
I've gone about it knowing right from the very start.
I simply can't complete it now and maybe never will.
It's got a part still missing that only she could fill.

When she gave her love to me, all I did was doubt her,
Unaware how life would be living without her.
Now she's gone, and I'm alone to live my life my way.
Sadly, everything I do has seen a better day.

Live and learn the prophets say
Learn to love the only way.
If you do, then you just may
Live to love another day.

As time went on, I always thought that she'd remain enchanted.
But sadly now, I realize I took her love for granted.
I wish I could go back in time and change things one by one.
But now I know the pain I caused could never be undone.

True love is a special gift that has to be returned.
A lesson that the lonely have seldom ever learned.
But life goes on and so does love. Alone they're incomplete.
Take the time to guide them and protect them when they meet.

Live and learn the prophets say
Learn to love the only way.
If you do, then you just may
Live to love another day.
