Love Poem: Truth Lost

Truth Lost

He doesn't love me 
Could I be blind? 
What of the words 
He spoke to mine? 

I felt the love, 
At least believed, 
His words were true. 
Was I deceived? 

Guarded castles 
Surrounding seas, 
He masks his heart 
And all his needs. 

Love in my soul, 
Too close you came. 
For that, he must 
Cast you away. 

Your secret truths, 
Bestowed to him, 
Did he receive 
As on a whim? 

Commitment lost. 
But was his true? 
Was love I gave 
Misplaced and used? 

Come back to me, 
O' words of waste, 
Refill the void 
That I now face. 

Foolish heart, is 
No pain enough? 
For this one, must 
You always love? 

Forgive me, Soul, 
Where loss abides. 
Propelled to want 
What's now denied.

'Move On', he said.
That I must do.
Beginning again,
I look for truth.
