A Puzzled Heart

Desertwind

The clock of time 

can't turn back 

your hand holding mine ,

they'll have to pass each other 

and never 

intertwine 

 

The past life of love 

can't be relived again ,

you gave it all away 

back then 

 

The piece of puzzle 

I could never find ,

was the one that

held your heart 

that was one of a kind 

 

For me though 

my love of you marched 

whole and not part ,

right into 

my heart  

 

For love lost 

forever lost ,

what is really 

the cost 

 

I thought we had something 

something that money 

just couldn't buy ,

true love 

when love isn't 

a lie 

 

You took everything 

even the life 

that was in me ,

I don't know why 

you couldn't let 

something be 

 

They say it's not manly 

for he who cries ,

but I'd rather be 

wet behind the ears 

than dry 

in the eyes

    Yes that's true. I wrote this about a friend's wife. I never told him, but I think the the missing part of the puzzle was money. She loved money not him. I never saw him cry about it , I just meant she had no sympathy for him, took everything and left him paying for it. He was in state of depression for 10 or more years though, oh well that's life.

    Sometimes we just have to move on. There's plenty of fish in the sea and we can always go searching for the missing puzzle piece. Poignant write!
