Stormy PoeticJustice

My love was not my own.

It was yours to hold and cherish.

If it died,

it is because you failed.

You did not nurture, care for,

and protect my gift to you.

It has left

to find a better home…

                with someone else.

 

Don’t weep for my love,

for it will not hear.

It is not my love’s fault

you faltered,

and could not keep it warm and safe

from the harsh judgments

of society…

                or yourself.

 

You are the one that changed.

I promised to love you forever,

but I have no claims to

the person you are now.

The girl I once loved

no longer exists…

                I miss her.
