Break for Two

I'll want you till the day I die

whether it was love or a lie

You may not have a single clue

don't worry yourself with thoughts so blue

My heart can break for two.

For every memory you forget

I'll fill an extra page,

the actor never feels alone

until he is offstage

I only wish you somehow knew

the girl I could have been with you

the tales that we could weave

on starless nights without an end

I wish you could have met her

in a dream of silk and sand

This passion will consume me

right before I lose my breath

Right up to final moments

when my last dance is with Death

And it still matters not

that time has led me once astray

my thoughts of you redeem the debt

that you will never pay.

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

If one is broken, he may lack the depth or the ability to trust and receive love of such incomprehensible depths. If you are one who loves from the soul, it's more than a matter of the heart. It's love for life versus love for a moment. If unreturned, your love will return to its source - you - and you will always have that love within you.

Thank you so much for this insightful comment. You are absolutely right, my love never left :)

............so soulful is the heart of the broken; so profound is the soul of the lonely. This is divine! Well done!

I love how you rhyme. You show the power of love.

Love is all meant to be eternal and everlasting. Your words crave it very well. I really like the rhyme at the start of the prose. A perfect one!
