You loved me once,
With your heart and soul-
You felt my warmth;
Charm, simplicity and all.
You were passionate,
Vibrant, full of life-
Wanted to resonate;
My inundated vive.
Our hearts were high,
And we used to fly-
With carefree zeal;
To touch the sky.
Love is like a rose,
With every petal soft and pure-
A thorn’s sharp pain;
That I endure.
In this dance of beauty and motion,
Love is the deepest emotion-
Yet being hurt over and over;
I have indeed been a shock absorber!!!
