Can’t love any more


you have managed
to wring the last remnant
of life’s love
from what was good


leaving it to slowly
slowly
soak into the earth


in looking back [don’t we all?]
seeing shells of barrenness
knowing to have thought


“don’t let him in…,
he will change your life…”


you did just that ~
bring change…


but don’t all things, good or bad,
change us?


And now, in looking back
over the depiction of
what was just said,


let me rephrase


the


“can’t love any more”


to


can’t love You anymore


although I will
definitely
definitively


and distinctly


love again

an emotional heart wrenching and heart cleansing piece of writing that I had the pleasure to read.  The first stanza was fresh and original.

(sigh) This is soooooo emotionally powerful, sweet friend, I know with all my heart you will love again very soon and you will find all the happiness your heart desires! (kiss on cheek) This is outstanding, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Decaflame - if I were to write a poem about 'Can't Love Anymore' I would not change one word of yours...
