Love Poem: Where Did It Go To

Where Did It Go To

Dream, I thought of a lifetime, 
Where did it go to, 
Gift, that once brought me such joy, 
How do things like this happen, with no ill intent, 	
All of a sudden, all currencies spent.

I can not buy back, 
All those slights you imagine, 
I can not buy back, 
All the attention you missed, 
The distance too great, and poetry not enough
To insure we survived when times became rough.

I do not place blame, 	
For emotions you withheld, 
I do not place blame, 
On circumstance you endure, 
We might really have made it except for one thing, 
A dragon ate us, you still wore a ring.

I now must take stock
Of emotions that ran free, 
I now must take stock
Of other's love that's now lost, 
Of a loss that still haunts me, that we never kissed, 
Of our love, a shadow, just faded mist.
