Love Poem: The Wondering

The Wondering

I need a quick explanation!
How is it I've ended up here?
Why has Love dashed away and stranded me,
While I hold this mad wolf by the ears?!

How is it that dreams become nightmares?
When does the mutation begin?
Logic could excuse the reason for these queries - 
Yet I knock at his door and find he's not in;

And Cupid-his aim-where has it gone,
And how in my cause did he miss?
The pain of his error now weighs on my lips -
Each time I remember her kiss.

So it's must I,alone in my wondering,
Will search on for solace and clues,
Illuminate that on which the darkness has fallen -
Darkness,in all its fine blacks and blues.

I'll spin wistful thoughts 'round my Heart once again -
How I felt when it still was alive.
I pray,Love,that you'll revive my Heart soon -
Bring a close to what Grief has contrived...
