Lust
Left me dying in the dust
Love, could've been
But it was wrong
She said

Lost
Never mine, still she's gone
Bleeding heart cries
These bloody tears
Of loss

Grief
Only friend, in misery
It could never be
I was a fool
It seems

Chance
Had to be my last
Our love lies in the past
Still untouched
By my hands

Love
This fruitless act of trust
Seed dies in the dust
It would never be
Was I wrong to hope?

It's never wrong to hope.  Hoping is one element that I believe keeps us alive.  You know the saying though, better to have loved and lost than not loved at all.  Or if love was just beyond your grasp this time, just hope and you just might reach it next time.  (sorry if corny) Oh, and welcome to Dark Passions.  You'll like it here.

Beautiful first poem.  Welcome to Dark Passions!  I think that you will find yourself at home here.  I did.  I especially liked these lines:


Lost
Never mine, still she's gone
Bleeding heart cries
These bloody tears
Of loss

Hope to see more of you here.

I like the structure of the poem, especially the subsection effect. Also the flow of the piece and how the simple definitions of the terms give the poem a desolate atmosphere. And all of the above, of course!

Hello. Welcome! Thought provoking poem.  Was I wrong to hope?  Nah... we should all hope, even if it doesn't come to fruition... hoping can sometimes make us the person we are and lead us to other opportunities... for when we are hoping our eyes are open   Really like your style.  Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Wellcome to Dark Passions my friend.
you came in with a bang, this is a great layout.
Like Kender I love the one word then the stanza behind it to back it up, great job...
