The tragedy of forgotten love

 
 

You took all my joy,

And left me with a heart broken.
Awakened from a wonderful dream,
I awoke alone.
Vanished promises of tying the proverbial knot.
You no longer for me, have love.
 
Where is your love?
You said you no longer feel joy.
In my chest there was a knot.
I have not felt so lost, and broken.
I have never felt so alone.
Was this all but a dream?
 
You were my dream.
My one true love.
Now I am alone.
There is no joy.
What we had is now broken.
I choke on words my tongue in a knot.
 
A pain in my side, a cramp or a knot?
Marriage no longer a dream.
"But what can I do?" My words broken.
"There is nothing you can do." You whispered with no love.
"What can I do to bring you joy?"
I left, and drove home alone.
 
I stopped at the place where I proposed. I crossed your name off the tree alone.
In the wood where I carved our names in a knot.
On that cold December night, the park where we first met is empty of joy.
The park  where hand in hand we lay in the grass together, and dream,
Is now a place desolate, void, and broken.
 
On 12/16/2012 you left me broken.
I cry under the tree carved with our names, alone.
Mourning the death of love.
Reminiscing of our rehearsal of tying the knot
That is now only a dream.
A bittersweet dream of forgotten joy.
 
You took joy and left me broken.
I now dream alone.
Under the knot in the tree the words carved "Avery+Kaity". The tragedy of forgotten love.

Thank you

That's how it felt, clicked my heart was in a vice to cease it from beating.


greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends
