We used to sing together, you and I,
But seemed to lose the urge as time went by.
The magic that we found within each song,
Just disappeared for us, as things went wrong.
Too soon the music faded far away,
To leave us with the silence of today.

We used to dance together, you and I,
In perfect harmony, now with a sigh,
I realize how long since pleasure died,
In moving cross the floor with you as guide.
We walk together now on roads apart,
But you still have some pieces of my heart!

And the pieces have importance,
ne'ertheless.
Thanks.

This is lovely, Betty.  Not quite your usual upbeat style, but that's what a poet does.  Writes the feelings of the moment.  Love, Joyce

We do often leave pieces of our hearts scattered about, but the wonderful thing about hearts (poetically speaking, at least) is that they regenerate, so there are always more pieces to give. I did enjoy reading this.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Trillium:

This poem made me smile and brought tears to my eyes. I'm sorry the danceing and singing has stopped. I love music and and it seems you do and did to. I'm the kind of person whom leaves pieces of my heart with people I love and care about also. Who knows what the future holds, I love music and hope it never dies so I also hope the same for true love. Good luck!
