Once Lovers

By U2jess

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I fell for the man I first met. I can find him no longer. I've searched far and near, but to no avail. He's gone forever I fear. I had looked inside him. Looked into his soul. I had read in it. Passionate words and sonnets I had found. But I find him no longer. Has he found another? A stranger has fallen before me. I do not understand his banishment nor his neglect. Now I have fallen into the pit. I, alone, attempt to stagger out... While he turns the other way, Offering me no helping hand. My prince has been corrupted. Turned against me. My sweat, blood, and tears were not enough. Now I must turn on him. Once lovers, Now fighters. Who will shed blood first? Who will moisten their cheeks with tears? Not I. Loss of blood has left me weak. I have no more tears. I see now that I am fighting a lost cause. A ghost. Written April 14th, 2002 © on Apr 14 2002 04:50 PM PST   18 • 0 • 8
