A Poem

I’ve toiled in the soil

Until my brain has boiled

Seeking your loving embrace

But was met with nothing but recoil

The look on your face said it all

That face

Your face

So full of beauty and grace

So hard to look away from

It brightens my day

I hated to watch your heart fall

A free fall

I didn’t mean to break you

I just want to take you

Make you mine

And I yours

I don’t care what we’re doing

Cooking, arranging laundry in the drawers

It matters not

Your mere presence

Is all the present I need

Now you’re drifting away from me again

I’m swimming against the current

Of the present circumstance

Lamenting the day

When our hearts no longer dance

    Beautiful!

  • Love grown cold, taken for granted, in danger of being lost forever, no idea how to get it back..., heart breaking.
