For Love

I lived for love and gave love
Got none back at all
And when there was none to give
Found no one there at all

And when I reach the end, some day
No one will ever recall,
One who loved so selflessly
But was never loved at all.

But on my humble tomb, that day,
The epitaph will say it all
I chose to love and not be loved
Than never to love at all.

Very nicely said...
Such longing and heartache here..
A well done bittersweet write.
Hugs~

anwaar,
  This is simply beautiful and it will be a "must have" keeper in my library.  Although
your poem gives the illusion that you unselfishly loved and haven't received love in return, I'd wager to say, you were loved
(maybe not by whom you desired at the time, but perhaps by others who you didn't see...)
