Once I Loved You

Once I Loved You

Once when stars were aligned
and fate stepped in
One kiss sent shivers
down a spine
I loved you

In joyful days
when sunshine tingled
bare skin
and twilight brought romance
I loved you

In the sultry evenings
of deep summer
listening to soft music
lingering in fragrant air
I loved you

When love was tested
with sickness you disappeared
within your own self pity
leaving me locked out, but
I loved you

Every day I was there balancing
on the edge of your anger
In your mind I was to bear blame
for what happened to you, yet
I still loved you

Over time I had become
your whipping boy
as I was the closest
Your recovery came too late
I no longer love you

  3. Christine the trajectory is familiar. Each time “another little piece of [your] heart” is broken until the love is gone 😦 If only we could keep the loving memories and have the cruel ones excised.

    1. Yes Lisa. It’s as if we are riding in a car that keeps hitting a wall. We are getting battered a little more each time until the relationship ends up on life support. 🫥
