PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

For many years I have searched

Made my lists and compared the qualities

So many times I had been very close

Of course there are little things that never pan out

But seventy percent and a spark was the quest

Now I finally found her

And she is with another

We tried out things anyway

Untimely pursuits and restless needs

I watched her drift away

Turning to others to fill the void

I found my needs desperately wanting

Trying not to compare

The thoughts of her never end

Sharing a kiss with another

Just not the same

Materialistic pursuits for some

Her needs were always so simple

Gifts to show affection go unnoticed

Missed is her endless appreciation and thanks

Older standards forget about youth

Spontaneous simplicity was her dying motto

Late night in bed to find a cold back

Her constant embrace was always so warm

Even conversations were shallow and cut short

Our all night discussions have me longing

Here I am again wondering what the future holds

No one said true love was going to be easy

But I’d rather be blue and lonely

Than to spend another day filling in the blanks
