Sad Love Story

she clinched to him with passion
with all of her compassion
giving it her all
but in the end she would fall

no touching of his love
he soon had forgotten
and made her feel like sea island cotton

she desired his touch
as such
like every woman dreams of
and every woman reads of

what does it take
was this her mistake?
all she asked for was love
the love people write of
to be noticed
but only to experience distanced
of what she thought was her beloved

hollow...
that he didn't follow

walk out of...
a dream, awake
empty of...
she would rise above
continue into her world

let go of...
take hold of...
her tears she cried
nothing she is proud of

she felt as if she'd been denied
walking away with her red eyes
that she was set aside
maybe someday she would brush it aside
rise above this sea tide

decide...
set aside...
but leaving her with heart ache inside

for will she ever forget?
without becoming extremely upset
