Lost Love
LOST LOVE
~~~~~
Furtive, I sensed, my true love was hiding.
Was my love unrequited, lost, forlorn?
In denial, the thought, was she lying?
My true love lost, dead before it was born.
At first humble but she turned nonchalant
Her words and moods implied no interest
My heart had strayed, yes fooled, but still extant,
Lives on, a lesson learned, it did its best.
Shallow are those that break the rules of love.
My true heart gave love to an unworthy.
My heart free, survived, now needs, begs a shove,
To find true love that won't drive me crazy.
One who follows ascetic ways in life,
One lost to love, to be my forever wife!
