LOST LOVE ..

The elder poet

I miss the love of years ago .

Her admiration doesn't show .

The knight in armor that I was .

The man she promised God she'd love.

Arm in arm we traded rings.  

We shared our love , Our life and things.

The years have gone from one to many .

Her love for me she hasn't any .

Living together, But grown apart. 

Just a shell without a heart .

No kisses , Hugs or smooth caresses.

No holding hands, No pretty dresses.

What have I done to fall from grace ?

What am I doing in this empty place ?

    "Living together, But grown apart.
    Just a shell without a heart...
    What am I doing in this empty place?"

    I grappled with this sentiment far too long before finally ending my own marriage.

    Thank you for sharing something so personal, it's beautifully sad. But as you said, life got better.
