love to lose

i guess i had a love to lose
one to spare and one to choose
one to hide behind
and one to try to find
i guess i was the one to burn
the one to suffer for the queen
who lit me up, the embers gleam
and even angels cant believe
a heart of stone, a mouth of gin
a rundown town, a harlequin 
strikes a match and begins
i guess i was no match again
i guess i had a love to lose
one to scar and one to bruise
i guess i had a love to write a three chord goodbye song to
and it aint you
once i had a love who said
those days are long over my friend
sadly wise , perhaps it is
i was wrong to imply this
if you stopped i'd take you back
and i don't think that there is anything
so make sure you know that

a love so simple, gentle warm feelings..sometime get complicated by misfortune. lie,misunderstanding and one sided strong feelings (probably the most painful one)..you have captured a very fine feeling with full of sentiment and emotion..and here your words ignite the heart..just awesome

Love It!!! I can really feel you in this poem. Lost love is one of the most haunting things I've had to deal with. You do an excellent job here. Keep it up!

hey thanks man! i hope your dealing with it is done. thanks for reading
I don't have the vocabulary to describe exactly what it is that spoke to me about this poem, but I believe it had a lot to do with your meter.
I loved the pulse that your words had.
The repetition reminded me somewhat of-don't be offended, it's a good thing- Dr. Suess. It was very sing-songy but, in spite of that, the somberness of your message shone through. The way the two elements intermingled made for a breath of fresh night air.

To me it sounds like the love you lost was not the girl (or guy) but your own love, for them. When someone cheats of disrespects it hurts like hell for a bit but you get over it fast. I think.
