We've Not Known Love

We've Not Known Love
Written by: penonpaper

We've not known love,
Till we've felt its loss.
It's the kind of loss that can't be consoled.
The kind of loss that takes its hold
On the fragile fabric of hearts longing.

Longing to reconcile the irreconcilable.
Emptiness is the virus that consumes our souls.
Emptiness that accompanies the quivering lips that
Can't find the words and, the invisible lump in our throats that comes and goes like
The suns rays on the cloudiest of days.

Guilt and innocence play tug-of-war with delicate nerves that link
our hearts and minds. Together.
Where did I go wrong? It wasn't my fault.
The beauty of nature is not as beautiful as it once was, in the
subtlest of ways.

We've not known love,
Till we've felt its loss.
