Love
leaves too many scars
places my heart
behind so many bars

Life
for too many years
has brought pain
and too many tears

She
caused me so much pain
even so
I'd do it over again

Love
has done so much to me
leaving deep wounds
for eternity

Life
left too many scars
but the light in her eyes
twinkled like stars

Love
brought so many tears
for loves lost
and these burdensome fears

She
meant so much to me
and her smile
shines through my memory

smiling here, quite pretty, this is. And love remembered even through the pain is always worth the effort of recalling.

The last stanza is a nice touch,
it finishes the poem just right.
You have my vote for this one.
Hope everything heals up.

This reminds me of that song by Garth Brooks, the Dance.  

It's very good I enjoyed reading this.  

But lately I have been wondering, if a love lost really is better then never having loved at all.  I'm not sure anymore.
