Love Poem: The Fall

The Fall

Never wished it this way
The bliss have continued
The joy would have been eternal 
The company unending
But for the rupture

Though the signs were there
Boldly written
And shouting above their voices
But the heart refused to concede the head
In the conflict the accord was short lived

Regret and guilt grew wild
Hopelessness ensued
An eternal desire ripped
Every effort wasted
All to no avail

Another dilemma
Another unfinished dream
Another futile chase
Loss and loss all the way
Salvation now desired above all.
