Save

An illict affair bore a love and bore lies. I committed my life and was manipulted for months by lies. She never committed in reality.
Copyright ©2008 Ed J Written 7 January 2008 Built were our eternal dreams High upon a true love’s pyre With words that melded souls That lived in passion’s fire Forged in truth my given words That my heart earnest spoken Life pledged with offered rings Love’s material symbol token Union’s love forbidden Cast out by social Trier Love forever driven By illicit flame’s desire Securities now are lost In loves name sacrificed In so doing grants us honor In our adjoining lives I’m left with none but broken vow With my despair of dreams Conscience of each falling tear That bears my tortured screams I’m alone in the hallows Of my self-sacrifice Forsaken for love shallow In your heart full of lies Victimized by pen’s allure The life I had now gone For unfulfilled your promised words That would bring us to our dawn These betrayals you’ll always bare From this love, you divest You know not how to truly care So false love I lay to rest

It is too bad that others can fool you and take advantage of you, I know the story behind this as well

Aye, I am aware of the whole story behind this. But as you said dear Eddy, you truly felt no loss for you never really loved her.

However, you do write very well about tainted words, lies, a false love, and never the intention to commit to your soul. As you know, good thing. She is not a well soul.

Love and Light

Sadly, the theme that you share through your verses is an all too common and universal one in this life/world, Ed. Love, peace, and best wishes,

Poignant! This depicts the cycle of love, and love gone amuck. A lesson we should learn - R.I.P.

God bless you. Kathy

Very touching...one can feel the pain in your words...and only one that's been there can understand.
