Thar’s pain in that there love
Intro: up to 50 words (delete this text and enter your own)
Love will end with pain
Love always ends with pain
Splashing in the sea of
A lover’s promises
We blind our eyes to that
Feeding on fantasy
That this one is ‘the one’
The one who understands
The only one that cares
Before the pain creeps in
And the eyes start to see
Their empty promises
The soul begins to feel
That isolation it knew
Before this ‘one’ was found
And another is sought
To fill that empty space
And they become ‘the one’
Until the loneliness
Comes knocking once again
And between the pain days
Are sprinkled golden days
Of building sandcastles
And splashing in the sea
That make it feel alright.

I did not mention foregiveness – the Creator loves us all – (see my ‘soliloquy’ pome – posted here a while back ) – my favourite old saint? Phocus – patron saint of gardeners and unluckiest saint of all time (according to some – not me) 🙂
