Literature Text

I thought I was the only one who cried,
The only one to be alone and blue.
I thought of you, my heart broke and I sighed,
And all I ever thought about was you.
But you were away for so very long,
Even though my heart was mended, I knew;
That never again would I hear your song,
Or the words that you would say that were true:
"Surely you always meant so much to me."
But still I knew that happiness was near,
And I knew that my spirit would be free.
And I would never again hate or fear,
Falling in love with a girl pretty as you
Or a girl's love that ever was so true.
An old sonnet I tweaked for the mini-contest in Bleeding Hearts Poetry group. It is written in the traditional sonnet form using Iambic Pentameter.

The theme of the poem is closure. I thought it fitting for the contest about closure. Nothing hurts more than love that ends. However, it is better to have loved and lost than to never have dared to love.

It takes a truly broken heart to learn to appreciate a mended one. We live, we love, we move forward and one day we may chance to meet the very one that completes us, as I have.
