Love Lost

When love is lost the heart becomes disarrayed With brightest star in life's heaven in fierce decline Darkness engulfing with tears weeping the eyes. All cherished dreams of what might have been Vanishing with each tear leaving behind misery. Expectations gone with vow never to laugh again Soul cruelly buffeted by furies from purple storms All hope broken asunder, crushed and spoilt With heart sorely wounded, isolated and bleeding. Love stumbles and falls prey to cruel dark despair While the soul must struggle broken over loss of lover. Flowers of the heart can no longer flourish in full bloom Nor the soul's lilting music for love be so inspiring For love is lost because you are gone from me.
