With rejection comes loneliness
With loneliness comes despair
With despair comes grief
With grief comes a solitary tear

Relationships are meaningless with only one
Dreams never dreamt can never come true
Romance never shared is romance undone
Love never returned is love left eschew

Heartache begins when love has ended
Heartache turns a dream into a yearning
Heartache yearns for a heart to be mended
Heartache longs for a love still burning

Hopelessness becomes the very last scene
A knowing that love lost can never be found
A vision of love surrenders its final beams
As they slowly bring the (final) curtain down

“Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all”
Alfred Lord Tennyson
(1809-1892)

Many believe that life has one go around
I believed it to be so
Believed that love lost would never be found
and so I lived it as though

Days and nights sunrise and sunsets
Merge as one lives through vanishing
Time never a word spoken a life lived
In mime

Thoughts and dreams come and go
Never to be realized and rightly so
For second chances are made for some but
For the lonely they never seem to come

Memories bring back sorrow and sadness
Never a joy in one’s heart never a
Moment of gladness you think of her
And how it used to be and picture that
A second chance would set your heart
Free

The aroma of perfume the taste of tears
The aura of love that enveloped her
Face in my heart I can never replace
But your thoughts and dreams are
No longer for me they are now
Reserved for another he

A second chance comes with a risk
A stepping out a danger of love
Renewed but love buried can only
Be renewed when it comes between two
A touch of a hand a glance of an eye
A gently spoken word can be found
Making love between two forever
Eternal
The second time around♥

The only one who matters to me
Is slowly fading away
My grief to hold her to my heart
May not last for another day

I try as I may to keep her in mind
It seems futile as thoughts of her stray
My grief to hold her to my heart
May not last for another day

I struggle inside to the depth of my being
To keep her vision alive
Although I try and try as I may
My grief to hold her to my heart may
Not last for another day

As days pass by and years they fly
Her memory shall forever stay
Though I am old and sit alone
I think of her as I pray

My grief to hold her to my heart will
Last till my very last day
