Never thought that love could be forbidden,
never knew fate could turn out to be cruel
even though I found a love that I once thought was hidden
I ended up alone like a clown without a crowd still playing the fool
How could I have lost what my heart needed most
the warmth of your touch, the passion in your lips
yes, my love for you is still real but I'm still as cold as a ghost
empty inside, hopeless, lifeless as you slipped through my fingertips
The picture on my wall might be cracked or faded
but how can I forget the image of your smile
would have loved to see us go on, would have loved to say we've made it
but tears are all that's left, and those tears for you I cry
Never been so afraid, for my fear you have tossed
but now fear has returned for you're the love I have lost

Sorry for dragging everyone through my sob stories, but I seriously hope you guys get the oppurtunity to learn from them

This touched me. Few people are spared the aches and tears of losing a loved one...and there is no remedy, only time i guess. AND writing towards the light, getting it all out - just like you did here. sometimes sadness pulls the best poems from us.
