Love's Tragedy

 

How tragic is life to never know love

To never have a hand to hold

To never look into a lover’s eyes

And lose one’s self in paradise

 

How sad it must be to hide a heart

From the beauty of a lover’s touch

To caress so soft, a tender cheek

Of the perfect love that all seek

 

How tragic is life to never know love

Nothing sadder I can imagine

I have never felt such emptiness

As longing for that perfect kiss

Those last two lines got me. All the longing, emptiness and perhaps regret summed up in those two lines. No not summed up, but how does one say sent forth mystically. As the reader takes in your words, the emotion you felt is transported through time and space.

We have all felt this, even some of us who are in relationships. What I guess I am saying is that you don't always have to be alone to feel emptiness....( believe me I know )

Yes.............i can relate to that. But remember all the times you felt that wonderful feeling of love.........treasure those until true love comes and finds you :))
Loved the thought and flow...............why no title??
