How will I ever give my love again?
How do I give to you my heart?
Knowing that with just one lie
it will shatter like cheap crystal.

The damage you've done was unnecessary.
The pain you inflicted was cruel.
You knew you owned me.
The power you had over me was unbelievable.

I loved with the innocense of a child.
I've only loved this way once before,
and she died... taking a piece of me with her.
I swore I would never love again.. until you.

It was a bitter cruel fate that brought us together.
I can't help but wonder what I did.
How I could deserve this kind of pain and anguish
twice in my life.

Because now you tell me you too are dying.
I will have to watch the life drain from you.
I will have to watch each breath
become more difficult then the last.

Until you fade away like the late summer sun.
And I ask once more.....
                
                    How will I ever give my love again?

With perseverance even the snail reached the Ark.

  You've expressed your sorrow so masterfully sweet poetess.  The tender plea at the end really pulls at the heart.  

What's that old saying?  "It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all."  Maybe that is the answer to your question.  

Hugs,
~Krista

Your beautiful words & creativity allow me to connect with the same in myself.  
Thank you for having the courage to share yourself so that I can too

Lucie,
Oh the pain of a broken heart. You pen it well and I hope it helps you as much as it does us.

Oh my gosh....this poem made me cry for you. You express so well your pain and loss. My heart goes out to you.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

you will give your heart
without hesitation dear
to your Mr. Right

Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.
