It's Down to This

It’s down to this
The dregs of a love affair
That had moments of splendor
So wonderful
That it left us breathless
It’s down to this
A fire that burned so bright
That it blinded us to the truth
Leaving embers that mock us
With their waning warmth
As it dies this natural death
I can’t help but wonder
Would I have willingly missed
The passion you showed me
Would I have run
If I had known the ending
Would hurt so bad
It’s down to this
Was the happiness
Worth the pain of an ending
That amounts to this

Well written, thought out poem..
Pain is never good. Especially a broken heart kind of pain..
Thanks for stopping my way......

Beautiful and so bittersweet. Love is always worth the pain.
