Love Poem: Denial

Denial

My heavenly vision I prayed would last,
Though reality appears in small quick blasts.

Tears now flow in flocks and droves,
This is how the sorrow shows.

Heavy now it weighs within,
With true-life thoughts depressed again.

What happened to my pleasing dream?
One photo viewed forbade it seems.

Smile no more, cheeks wet with tears,
There is another, as I had feared.

I knew before no chance I had,
So why do I now feel so bad.

Cheerful, hopeful, happy and gay,
Please return these feelings I say.

Outsider no matter where I forge,
Might as well rove in a gorge.

Not interesting? Should I accept?
Or believe that it’s my intellect?

Fallen now into deep pell-mell,
Again the tears begin to swell.

Where have I been, where have you gone,
Please return, my dear sweet faun.

While in my mind I live, I must,
It’s the only place I seem to trust.

If there I live not stirring ahead,
The time will make me forlorn and dead.

Face the problem confront it now,
I would, if I could, if I only knew how.
