A LOST "LOVE"

M LEE AHMET 1983 (Putnam)



A LOVE LOST
AN INVESTMENT OF YEARS
WHAT COMES NEXT
AFTER LIES, SECRETS, AND MANY TEARS
THE TRUST IS NOW GONE
NEVER TO RETURN
NEVER TO COMMUNICATE
A HEALTHY WORD
THE PAIN IS HELD SO DEEP INSIDE
THE NIGHTS WE YELLED, WE SCREAMED, AND WE ALSO CRIED
HOLDING ON TO SOMETHING THAT TURNED OUT TO BE NOTHING
FOR WAY TOO LONG
IT WAS JUST SO HARD TO LET IT ALL GO
EVEN KNOWING THE LOVE, WE HELD WAS JUST SO WRONG
BUT NOW WE BOTH KNOW
WHAT COMES NEXT
WILL MAKE US FEEL BRAND NEW
I HOPE TO FIND “HIM”
AND
I HOPE YOU FIND
“HER” TOO.
