Love lost, love found, and lost

Got me turned out

Got me stepped out

Out of myself

And out of my mind



Wandering along twisting curves

Love soaked roads

In images of perfection

Everything fast and smooth

Smooth and right

Pretty pictures persuaded me

To love and love deeply

So in love that I was…



I was really in love

And I could say it

And mean it

And I meant it when I said it

Every time I spoke

Every time I thought it

Every time I wrote it

Documented over the years

On pages filled with smiles and tears



And when and then everything

It all became anything

Complacent with this thing

This surreal situation we shared

Now it’s nothing

And the next thing…



Wrecked along the side

And my insides are out

Bloodied and torn

Damaged and thorn filled

Not to be placed back in…



No surgery can fix me

No transplant can save me

Love wrecked and ruined me

Lying alongside of the road

Suffering, suffering, suffering

Where’s my ring…
