Love Poem: Once Loved

Once Loved

Where has our love gone?
A love that was once there
More profound than the heavens
Brighter than the stars,
A love filled with the fondness,
A love that was but yours and mine.

Then came that day 
When you abandoned me,
Left me stranded midway—
Alone and lonely!

Forsaken and forlorn
I wondered why?
Our love was to last forever,
Where did I go wrong?

If you would but seek once again
the sweet path to my once-loved embrace,
If you weep for me
and wishes to kiss me
I would pardon your perfidy…

Maybe, the love there was once
is now long gone, never to return.
