The light beam through a crystal,
Has a path; you cannot find,
And your love was only visible,
In the corridors of your mind,
Each door... I longed to enter,
But you took away the key,
Then gave that key to others,
But you never gave to me,
Yet you said you loved me - sometimes,
But your love was always hid,
To my face you always cared,
But to my heart you never did,
For I showed you only tenderness,
I showed my love was true,
I bared my soul entirely,
But I guess you never knew,
And I hope we don't regret,
What deceit to us has cost,
And regret; that with our deaths,
So much of love... was lost.

I have had the same experience, but life can change its orbit; placing you into a new vantage point.

There is perfect cadence to this poem...the rhythm supports the theme very well.
The emotions in your words clearly evident.
Touching write.
