Love Poem: Tbe

where did love go
when it left the even flow
of having and not having
the romance and the unknown

when the one that slept beside me
no longer seems beside me
and arguments have left me all alone
with my misdeeds, mistakes and groans

and hideous memories take hold
cruelties and vicious words were thrown
and the point of no return has been past
it was the final argument, surely the last

when last pleas have been wept
and final blows have been dealt
truly there is no hope for
the one with whom for years i slept
and in my loneliest hours i wept
do my feelings for God's law show contempt
are my emotional atachments so inept
on i blundered so bereft

where is justice now
it's vengeance must compensate
somehow
but silent are the wheels of justice
and unfair the time is to repair
the injustice 

sleep. rest while my fight is down
for surely if you were awake i'd clown
but moments have past when i wish
the old you was around
that part of you my love could arouse

sleep and dream of someplace better
where my bitterness is from you sheltered
where my vows to you are still espoused
safe from words that criticize
and all opinions that epitomize
the man hid behind the guise
of hatred and feelings he despises

against love our realities compromised
our romance was not successfully visualized
not alone, i have come to realize loves neglect
our doom and demise

farewell, to the not so distant past
hello to the despair at last
with heart felt  destain do we crash
remembereing our love past
