Love’s Commitment Lost

Love’s Commitment Lost

Long misunderstood,

I am a fool,

who is full of love,

blinded by the truth;

hiding from the weakness

of frail and damaged hearts.

How I have cared for them,

cherished them,

tried to repair them,

for that is my simple nature.

And yet,

here am I adrift in space,

lost in silence,

floating in the inky black isolation

of an empty universe.

Is anyone out there

in that dark night sky?

Anyone who will read me,

turn the pages slowly

from cover to cover

until I am burned

upon their conscience,

drifting in their dreams,  

and etched upon their souls

forever.

This breaks my heart to read. I think I've thought these exact thoughts on many an occasion.
Very moving piece of writing.

"cherished them,
tried to repair them,
for that is my simple nature.
And yet,
here am I adrift in space,
lost in silence,
floating in the inky black isolation - love that inky reference mate.
of an empty universe."
'No good deed goes unpunished " was the addage in my head after this part. It would seem it might hold water...

this fine poem called to mind the now famous Roger Sanchez music video (Another Chance) where the girl carries her heart - not unlike you John who wears his on his sleeve - nothing wrong in that - at ALL.

Such a plea from a caring heart. Sometimes it is those who have the most heartfelt desires to be the last given love in return. Relatable piece.... So beautiful, your words are quite touching. Well done.
