REPLACED BY LIFE:

Earthly bound, the laws of life
Dictate how much I may love you
Only to here, only in this way
For normality revolves around two

When we met we were one and one
Both hurting and singularly alone
Reaching out towards each other
To a friendship both could call their own

But life is hard and usually unfair
As we'd both discovered before
So, solace found in shared experience
Understanding exploded through love's door

You were the first to not reject
And always understand
You loved regardless, and kept alive
Hope; as you took me by the hand

Never in my life was anything unconditional
Before your faith, love and care
Amidst the many things you said
You promised to always be there

Drawn, magnetised, iron to iron
As one man sharpens another
I held on to the only safe thing
Your love became my cover

Closer together, circumstances aside
I thought we were deeper involved
But though you loved me, your feelings differed
"In motivation," though, "not depth," you told

Forever together, bound by love
A friendship to withstand time and space
So I thought, and I really believed it
Now another's taken my place

It hurts even to see your face.

Hey now, very good. Sad, but true.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

-William Wordsworth-
