Hollow Heart

sad love sonnet

 

 

 

When love ends it withers and dies

  leaving you to travel a lonely road

    as tear drops fall from weeping eyes

         left in love's wasteland so bitterly cold

 

 

When love ends a heartache begins

  grieving, your heart lays tattered and torn

     as heartbreak 'tis not easy to mend

         bereft, you bleed, shattered and worn

 

 

'O that love's fire would burn bright and last!

  and gods above would permit it's end naught

    'Alas, the billowing flame has burnt out fast

        and from its spark a hollow heart was wrought

 

 

 When love dies the heart has bled

                      with eyes that cry the last tears shed

[Fabian G. Franklin]

" Love believeth all things, hopeth all things and endureth all things." according to St. Paul. But I know that love never hurts. What hurts is the mistakes people make in their misplaced faith and poor judgement of character in others. Nobody likes to play the fool..but love and time makes fools of us all. A great read.

[Victoria Chang]

I agree with Fabian G Franklin. I have actually memorized the whole message. The Greatest is Love, just last month for my public speaking. Otherwise this is a very beautiful poem

[Wanda S. Paryla]
