LOVELESS WEEKEND


Another loveless weekend
And It’s my fault I’m alone.
I toss and turn in the dark
Feeling pain I’ve never known.

Just outside my window
There’s a full moon in the sky.
Every leaf is dancing
As the winds of night pass by.

There’s sorrow in my heart
And a tear in my eye.
First one, then another
Till my pillow is no longer dry.

I took your love for granted
Putting your needs on the shelf.
Feasting on all you gave
Only thinking of myself.

Then God sent you another
To reward the person you are.
Someone who would love you
At home and afar.

Seeking your approval
By how they use their mind.
Always speaking words of truth
Preferring to be kind.

To your memory I confess
For I no longer have your ear.
I pray for God’s forgiveness
And for love beyond my tear.

God always forgives, even when humans don't. Very poignant and sad.

Tom,

Smiles. It seems to me that the leaves dancing just outside your window realize, even though your night may be filled with weeping, Joy comes in the morning.

Again, enjoyed reading your poetry and God bless.

Sadly, too many take love for granted, especially God's pergfect, unconditional love.  Your work is read with great pleasure.  Thank you for sharing it here.

This is very poignant, dear Tom! A soul who is able to perceive Nature's touch knows deep within that there is no such a thing as loneliness or loveless time.
He is within, at all times. But we hurt, when we forget.
Enjoyed your well written poem much.

God bless.
Love,
Margherita
