Love Poem: Lost Love

Lost Love

What is the cost of a love that is lost?
Is it the value of one’s mind and soul?
A heart once infected, by love, now defective
Broken now, never again to be whole
Two hearts once on fire with passion and desire
Now… just smoke in the breeze
Left only are loves dying embers, and loves taunting memories

Thoughts in my head of things that were said
Both in anger and affection
Wishing now, I could erase somehow
The ones that may have caused this direction
Some play in my mind, time after time
Words that I felt were so true
That magical phrase I still hear in a daze
The words, “I will always Love You”

I try to be strong, knowing life must go on
So I try turning life’s page
But it’s so hard to cope in a life without hope
Trapped inside the bars of love’s cage
Time cannot heal the loss of a love that was real
For true love does not lessen with age
