I should have seen it coming
but it left as subtle as it came
Sleepless nights
waiting for love to get home
The carelessness of a lack of a caress
The misinterpretation of a single kiss
The hole we digged in our hearts
created by our own disdain
What else?
Who can repair pain?
After we lose to love
the lack of interest is
a sure bet
And then always leaving
the best for last
Disappearing into the
night your last act
your finishing touch
of love

WOW! wonderfully written! Love, a hard emotion to express, yet when the words come from the heart, who is to say it is wrong?

Ter.

Alone in the dark, through my thoughts comfort I do seek, through my words I find peace.

"Who can repair pain?"

Yes...who can???

A touching very well expressed write...

(smiles) Oh Walker, I hope this isn't related to an experience in your love life, for it breaks my heart to feel when lovers don't care about each other! (sigh) I pray that it's not what it seems and he's only just begun to share you the beauty of eternal love and is saving the beauty of it for every day! (kiss on cheek) You are sooooooo romantic, sweet friend, this is a beautiful bittersweet expression of love! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Walker, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

It is sad when the excitement of a kiss or touch becomes routine....or expected...your poem expresses well!

You've written it well, walker.  The full circle of love, sometimes broken.
