I Had A Love

I Had A Love

I had a love,
An elegant and oh so splendid love.
Her, and me we fit like a glove,
Together we flew, swift like a dove.

I loved her, she loved me,
We were both as one, and totally free.
Our meeting I treated as destiny,
Our love was strong, for all to see.

Something changed, I don’t know what,
Pulled my love from her sacred spot.
Jolted her from her holy slot,
Her departure hit me as though I’d been shot.

No reason I ever found,
For her exit without even a sound.
Even though I searched round and round.
So in my tears, I slowly drowned.

It is still to this day,
I repeat the question, why didn’t she stay?
As I stare at the ceiling from where I lay,
Lost track of months, July? June? May?

Never again will I find my peace,
Withdrawing into my solitary crease.
Flies swarm my lost body, ready to feast,
And as I disappeared, my soul forever did cease.

The single knowledge that lingers eternal.

I had a love,
An elegant and oh so splendid love.
Her, and me we fit like a glove,
Together we flew, swift like a dove.
I had a love.
