Love Forever Lost

All alone all by myself,

All those tears that I cried,

All alone no one could help,

And all those years that he lied.

No one knows what its like,

To have all the love inside,

To give to the one that you love,

Who only takes it and throws it aside.

And all my life I’ve looked for love,

To have and to share,

For that special someone,

Just to show me how much he cares.

I thought that I had found it,

I guess I must have thought wrong,

I miss you and I love you,

But I hate you and you’re gone.

Though it’s all that runs through my head,

Each and every day and night,

Someday someone else will find me,

And will find a way to make it right.

Someday that someone else,

Will always be by my side,

And listen to my every woe,

And with them I will confide.

They will be there no matter what,

And fulfill my every need,

Kiss me caress me hug me love me,

Our love will grow and spread like weeds.

And when I find you,

Whoever you might be,

I will give you the same respect and love,

Forever just you and me.

Until that day, from the pain of the past,

My hearts still pays the cost,

It bleeds and bleeds with no end in sight,

From the love that was forever lost

Well I must honor the strength you've displayed here with this poem, the truth, feelings, honesty and heartfelt pain that has made clear to all to everybody reviewing this poem. I will take this poem for what it is worth; the total truth! Love can be very overwhelming and at times frightening to those that see life and love as a tradition of what people and the television dictates to us. Who is suppose to do what and for how long are the ways of the world and without thinking most people tend to just follow along with the flow of life. I'm a guy the believes in love, respect and devotion; the last of my breed I guess!
There is a long and narrow road called "LIFE" and most of the time we must travel it all alone for the truth of the wisdom is ours as a gift attached with knowledge. Your poem Love Forever Lost speaks for so many people who do not have the courage nor the skills to lay it all out on the line as you have done. I am a poet and a lyricist and I take the art of writing very serious, I also love to read the craft of other writers as well. Love is always there but if we are not able to see it for what it really is then we pass it by. Everyday we pass someone that wishes to meet us with good intentions but most of us have an idea on matters that aren't of any real value; integrity with character and respect with devotion. You have a long life that awaits you as your trials are only an education on how humans can be when self is the main objective. Keep putting your heart and soul on paper and then go back at a later date and read your emotions and you will be surprized as to how much you have grown with out being bitter or resentful. Never let the growing pains of life cause you to become blind to all the love that is in support of your well-being; no strings attached! When I met the love of my life she was a bit strange to me but all the necessary qualities that are full of love, respect, devotion, honesty and so much more has been good for me even though I too have this great feeling of being so, so overwhelmed by this love; I have been blessed to have her as mine. When I met her I wasn't looking for someone that looks like I thought she would resemble; love just simply looks for love to love in return because thats all love knows! Why have I spent so much time reviewing your written expressions here on the poetry site; to be honest with you and the world I have walked in your shoes many times before I finally got most of the things within myself worked out! I'm no better than the next person but I do know the pains as well as the joys of real true love. Remember, some love is only is passing through life and then you have that special love that is yours for a lifetime; only settle for the one that loves as you love no matter what! Great poem and the truth of it makes everything wonderful and with hopes of a brighter future for all that have the respect for love and the lovely at heart. Real men come to stay while the adolescent only arrives to play! This I know for sure and I've felt this pain you've expressed quite well! Thanks, Nathaniel London
