Lost Love

What was once a blessing has now become a curse,

A blossoming love now lies shattered at my feet,

Tears fill my eyes as I vainly try to pick up the pieces,

As the wind scatters whats left of my broken heart.

Even though I can see everything slipping away,

My soul still longs for the bliss I once knew,

Memories roll over me like a crashing wave,

A day at the beach becomes a night spent in her arms,

A whispered I love you stings my heart,

Then drifts away as the tide goes back out to sea.

What I wouldn't give for one more chance,

One more time to look into those soft blue eyes,

But I know that my dream will never come true,

Those eyes are now hard as daggers,

And the loving embrace, a cold shoulder.

I look around and see so many paths before me,

Replacing the one that used to be my destination,

Once again I find myself floating on fates wings,

Scared and unsure of where this journey will lead.
