“THE PURITY OF LOVE”

I no longer wish to be miserable with him,

I’d rather be miserable alone.

Never did I want to let an opportunity pass for us to be,

Now he has lost and let that opportunity pass.

He has taken my love’s purity with him,

All I’m left with are questions, lies, and unfulfilled dreams.

They say you don’t know what you have ’til it’s gone – I wonder if that is true,

Cause if it is, he will see that I was there with my arms open for him to have.

Mind, body, and soul were all his for the taking,

Little did he know what he was forsaking.

A love so unconditional, genuine, and pure,

It had me wishing for reincarnation.

One lifetime wasn’t enough for me to be with him.

Those feelings have now turned to dust and,

These years have been more than enough.

One question will always remain unanswered,

Was his love as pure?

My heart yearns for only just a taste,

Of a Love that is equivalent to the love that I have given.

The love that once upon a time existed, a love so pure.

To love is to be whole.

I am empty.

I still wish to be miserable with her, but now her feelings she told me are changed,

So now I’m left with a decision since her feelings are soon to fade,

I’m still young now, still able to control,

Still willing and able to see life fully unfold,

You see my loves purity has begun to sour and run dry,

Yet I’m still yearning for the moment our love is purified,

She has now taken my soul, my heart, and mind,

She has left me broken, stressed, and alone feeling senseless and blind,

The entity that was one, is now broken in two,

Separate households and bills have become plentiful,

Loneliness is here when it doesn’t have to be,

She feels I took, I feel she took, and we are now so far from where we thought we’d ever be,

I keep my prayers up, my days are now long,

She told me one day maybe she’d come running back to my arms,

For now its court cases, custody battles, arguments over schedules with the kids,

All the while the purity of love she no longer gives,

Her words were harsh, and struck a blow to my life in itself,

When she told me no longer will I be with you or try to help,

The strength of love has weakened for her, yet strengthened on my part,

For I always knew that she would forever be the love of my life, and always own my heart,

She no longer wants that, needs it or sees,

The necessity for pure love, trusts nor believes,

I see her all the time in my dreams, and during the course of the day,

Desperately missing those times she called just to say ‘hey’,

The purity is gone for she took it as she left,

Slowly slipping away as she put our love to rest,

She says in time she may again regain love and trust,

A moment I dream about and pray for so very much.

The purity of Love is what we yearn.

A love so kind, gentle, and divine.

Without a doubt, unbelievably true.

To make our gray skies clear blue.
