In The Dark Of Night

In the dark of night I think of you
When there’s not even one sound
I remember way back then when
True love was felt all around

We couldn’t wait until we were alone
To explore the new treasures we possessed
Your warm and tender embrace
Is something I have truly missed

You don’t know how many times I wished
We could go back to the way we were then
When you and I had first met that night
You always came to see me every weekend

It seems that after all this time the pain
Would have gone completely away
But, that just isn’t true for me at all
It seems to always want to stay

What happened to ‘til death do you part?
What happened to always and forever?
Those feelings I had felt inside me
Could never have been stronger

What was suppose to be always and forever
Seemed to have suddenly come to an end
The love I felt for you deep inside me
Never was just pretend

kinda sad

lost love is always a one sided affair


Love your name

Dear Sue, your heart expresses this deep yearning for what once was so intensely. It's indeed in the "dark of night" that the lack of loving arms is felt like this.

Beautiful in its sadness.

May love again enter your life!

Love and hugs.
Margherita

This lament for lost love is one I understand well... Excellent!

Oh, Sue, my dear friend, I feel like wrapping my arms around you and comforting you. You've come a long way, but true love never truly dies. Emotions that strong, never completely leave us. This was a sweetly expressed, emotive piece of writing.

Love you!
Linda

Very heartfelt poem, sometimes people can be judgemental about us and they can be so wrong. Lost love always causes great pain and wounds heal slowly but the do heal.

I thought it as reading you.

"What happened to ‘til death do you part?
What happened to always and forever?"...

I was wondering that just the other day, Sue.

  Such loss leaves little to say, except that my heart goes out, and I understand such bruising.

Sad we tend to keep looking back.Look ahead and you may be surprised. You are still young and a good looker and also a sweetheart.

I love the new photo! latearrival.

Sue,

I like this picture a lot - but, even more, I like your poem.  What does happen to love like that?  Maybe it is training for a greater love down the road.  Maybe it the basis for the person we become.  Whatever it is - you are sure a sign of how a person grows and bestows kindness upon many.  You have on me that's for sure.

So, grow in love - it shines from you in that picture.

Love to you,
Alison

nakdthoughts, thank you for reading and replying. I wonder about this quite often.

vandana, thank you for reading and replying to my heartfelt poem.

Marchmadness, thank you so much for reading and for the kind comment.

Klassy Lassy, thank you for reading and replying. A bruised heart seems to last forever.

Earth Angel, my sweet friend. You sure know how to lift a persons spirits.

Rex, thank you for reading, and for the nice reply.

latearrival, I try really hard not to keep looking back. But, it seems like sometimes those memories come back, and just won't leave. If only I could feel as young, as I look, I'd be in good shape.

Alison, my friend, thank you for your very kind comment. It touches this heart of mine to know that I have touched anyone in anyway. And, is very encouraging to me. I admire you alot.
