Love Changes

Shall I name the cause of my discontent
As though another lover¹s lament
No, it has more depth than that
And was not my intent, in fact

You must realize love is a changing thing
From its great depth, can surface and take wing
Die like unfanned coals
Become wreckage on the sholes

As my love grew, her¹s died
Flowed away, me the sand her the tide
The despair I felt was in the knowing
That twas I failed the coals glowing

No, my intent here is to warn
You must look now, don¹t wait the morn
Search deep and know your heart
For if you scorn, love will depart

Such beautiful, descriptive words. God I wish I could have read this before I fell in love!!! It would have made me think a little bit.

This was not meant as prelove training advice.  This was about my ex wife of 20 years.  And it was about how I failed.  Thanks.
