Love Poem: I Must Move On

I Must Move On

Believing you've forgotten those moments we shared,
Finding more satisfying life with another,
Assuming the time came when you no longer cared
I must move on.

When one loves fully, it is hard to recover
From heartbreak, the wounded soul is utterly bared,
Months, perhaps years, before the mind will discover

Desertion leaves wounded the aching heart ensnared
In love's trap, until it finds a brand new lover,
But forever after is conflicted and scared
I must move on.
