I reflect upon
The years I’ve wasted
The souls I’ve touched
And lips I’ve tasted
My simple heart
With life anew
Was cast aside
When I loved you

I think of all
The roads I’ve crossed
The friends I’ve made
The time I’ve lost
The foolish songs
I sung for two
Were torn asunder
When I loved you

Now looking back
It’s clear to see
There is no one
That’s meant for me
Protest you not
These thoughts I spew
For you cared naught
When I loved you

Drifting down
This path I follow
No more have I
A heart to swallow
Although I’ve learned
A thing or two
My soul was scarred
When I loved you

This piece isn't about any one person, rather all the women who have come into my life, taken what they needed and then left..

Thank you, I'm glad you liked this piece and sorry to hear that you can relate.

The flow was great, I don't think I could stop reading it once started if I tried. Not that I would want to, of course.

Time and time again, I have reflected like this. You did it well. It definitely struck me.
