Love Poem: Haunted

Haunted

tempt me not
the hand of fate
nor post "sadness" in a book
with what could have been above
to know the truth 
but at what cost
tainted love bright then lost
maybe several misunderstandings
not meant to do me harm
never realizing the damage that was done
with your own power and loves endeavor
jaded shattered essence
caused by a love thought to be true
now awaiting another soul
to give me, for I need it sorely
that courage wise and sweet
to make the path I lead 
clear beneath my feet
to lend me peace
in a time of never ending pain
understanding with no loss 
there is no gain
