Ode to Daniel Solan

I never understood what love was
I only ever loved once
He held my hand and kissed my lips
And I knew he was the one

I learnt my life's lesson from this man
And maybe you could say I changed
I never felt that love again
Just like I never felt the rain

I was loved by so many other men
Maybe they thought that I was the one
But love you see is something that lasts
Not something that is just gone

I'm stupid for searching for that love
and failing every time
An idiot for make believe
A twat for speaking in rhyme

It all comes from my heart you see
Just plain and simple words
I won't re-read this poem
I'll just say it as it's heard

Waiting so long for my time to come
To feel the love once more
I guess I'm giving up
It's not my choice.
Whether love knocks on my door

You can't force a feeling once felt
And left behind to wilt
I hurt so many of them guys
And now I just feel guilt

So I'm stopping for the timebeing
I'll play it as it comes
But when love finally finds my door
I won't be one that runs.

    Yes. I think many of us have. Nice rhyme and flow. Though a few lines do seem forced. Thoughtful, and sad. Thank you for your entry & Best wishes in the contest!

    Sorry, but this entry does not qualify for the contes. The only rule in this contest states that each entry must be fifteen lines or less and this is quite a bit over that limit. Thank you for entering though. Storm
