A Break From Love

I can't seem to separate Love, from losing you I want to love again But not sure now if it's the thing to do Every time I think of love My thoughts all run to you Although I try hard to forget The pain still seems so new Hopefully one day I'll find A way to move on But until that day arrives For now, my feelings of love are gone It's not that I've given up on love But I'm still kind of bitter Never before in my life Have I been known as a quitter So, from love I need to take A long extended break I know I have to do this If only for my heart's sake It's almost funny how a single emotion Can leave one so bruised and battered But never in my wildest dreams Did I think love would leave me shattered 1-19-19/RjH
