A Love Lost

A love to fight for, a love to ensnare.

A love to bring triumph, wherever our hearts dare.

She brought me great hope, but left me dispair. I once thought that nothing could ever compare.

A love for the ages, but has gone contorted.

A love of my life, but love has become distorted. Love's great extacy has since been aborted.

A love lost is better than to have loved at all. But it leaves us barren and in a drunken fall.

To get back up is the hardest of all. We must wash out our feelings and begin to crawl.

A heart mends in an imperfect way; It seals the breach day by day.

A love lost is with great displeasure, but the strength of our soul is far beyond measure.

<p>I love how the initial feel I get from this is soothing and then it gets pretty cold....but then your very last line: " A love lost is with great displeasure,but the strength of our soul is far beyond measure." really made me smile. The TRUTH is in every letter of that sentence...Well written!</p>
