Love Lost

If there exists the best for every soul,
The perfect compliment of moon to sun
And finding her is yet a valiant goal,
I searched and found my one, my only one.

As sure as petals glisten fraught with dew
And sunlight makes a crystal shine and dance,
Our hearts were bound and love was found we knew
As eyes secured a bond with but a glance.

We loved awhile but life was far from kind,
When I alone destroyed what might have been.
While happiness and hope were left behind,
For love is just a fallacy of men.

To dream of love is painful at its best,
But so I must each night with every rest.
