She was the sun
bright and beautiful
always singing
always dreaming
She believed
in happy endings
in love at first sight
and all that jazz
She was the person
I could turn to
when I felt lost
when I cried
She loved me
even when I screamed
and shouted,
“I hate you!”
She was the woman
I was jealous of
because she was loved
and cherished
She never knew
how I needed her
and now
she never will

Sad...
(they) say it is better to have loved and lost but I think that's crap. I say it is better to have loved so you can write a good poem about it

Aww, this was so deeply heart-wrenching.
I felt true emotion laid out
and expressed, but expressed
in a beautiful way.
Lovely take on the photo.
Best of luck & thanks for entering
