Shattered Love

When you love someone with all your heart and soul, you want to share it with the world.
You want to shout it from the rooftops, sing it at the top of your lungs.
You get the floating on cloud nine feeling, that all is right in the universe, that love is everything.
As long as you have him and he has you, you have the world in each other.
It’s a happiness and a joy that hard to extinguish and impossible to hide.
You want to share what makes you smile and got you flying high in the sky.
 But what happens when your love is the pain felt by another?
To now have the knowledge that your display of things so beautiful cause nothing but darkness for them.
It puts a dark and dreary shadow and a beautiful, cheerful, and lovely thing.
How do two that love each other so, but love the one in pain, carry on with one another?
The thought of life not built together is devastating to the core;
But the continued hurt the other feels matters even more.
Where's a happy ending, can one be found at all?
For how does one chose between life love and family ties?
Time can be a healer, he might move on from the pain.
But knowing what they know will it ever be the same?
