Lost Love Now fear the silent words I spoke The hidden feelings that I cloaked Emotion that I did not show The light in my heart has lost it’s glow Tears of joy are sour-sweet Feelings once so strong now never deep My hands once full, turn up empty now The smile you see, its only show My eyes that could not wait to see Have grown blind without dignity Thoughts I had have passed away There is nothing more that I can say My rainbow is now black and white A nothing walks along your side A touch once strong, now so weak Distance is what I do seek Words once full of love are now like fall Gone has the beauty of it all Stone has become what was so soft Submerged is now what was aloft Lost is what was found once in love Gone with the wind like you my dove Colours once so bright and gay There is nothing more that I can say I do not know the reason why I do not know why our love fell shy I do not feel the love glowing as I did I do not feel my heart click I do not see with longing look I do not see the signs written in the book I do not touch the love inside of you I do not touch my heart for you I do not understand how did we got this far away All what’s left is nothing more that I can say Sorry seems to be the word that does not calm the pain Sorry that there is nothing left for us to gain Sorry for the pouring rain And sorry that you didn’t feel the same The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

It can be very painful, losing love for someone...wonderful poem, Helmut! Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ |

Oh, Helmut Becker- My heart breaks at this piece. I can feel the sorrow and the loss. Sometimes lessons learned cost us too much. I believe that each experience we go through ... leaves us with the knowledge of having learned what to do 'right' the next time. Here's something to cheer you up ! Smile !

Very well written! It sure does hurt to lose someone we love! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD. Where there is GOD, there is no need. Hallmark |

Helmut, oh what a lovely piece...the way you've contrasted all these sensory and emotional components of a loving, feeling world with those of one so dark, hollow and forsaken. Excellent and evocative device. Thank you for sharing this here.  Claire |

Just remember that lessons grow from all those salty tears that flow and what was before will be again another chance to love and win. Well done expression of the pain of loss Helmut. In the dew of little things, the heart finds its morning and is refreshed. (ee cummings) |

WoW, so very well said! I am sorry the feeling wasn't mutual! *hugs* ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ Love is such a lonely art, and death is but a taste. Minds are merely instruments that often go to waste! ~*~ ^i^ ~*~ |

Wow. It would be redundant of me to express what so many other readers have captured from this piece... so let me be the one to say that I am so glad you survived to tell the story. Thank you. Sunshine Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
