The Love Light

The memories start to come back to me now
And I still ask myself the same question, "how"
How did you stop loving me overnight
It's almost like our love was switched off like a light
How can you go on and not feel any pain
And so quickly love another name
I loved you too soon, trusted you too much
I turned the love light on in a hasty rush
I wish I could go back and take back everything I said,
Take back all the blooming feelings that are now dead
You changed my life, made me believe in love again,
But you dropped the love light on the ground and now it has been broken
I thought we would have lasted, I thought we were meant to be
And I think of that and all the good times as the tears slide down my cheeks
You think I will be alright and forget this in a flash
But as much as I want to wipe them away, the memories stay like a rash
You could not have loved me, I will not believe
So hopefully that will make the pain more quickly leave
I don't wanna have to say
But I wish you could go away
And move back to your home state
And reverse this twisted thing that they call fate
'Cause I switched the love light on too early
And you turned it off before you left in a hurry
You stopped loving me overnight
Like our love was switched off like a light

Oh love, the universal truth that we can all identify with and remember that time when love was the essential part of living, though it was probably just passion and lust wrapped in naivety to begin with. Honestly, I wish this poem had more than it does. It's like a cheap narrative of a deep feeling.

This is such a moving piece! I can totally compare some situations in my life right now to this poem and I could sense and understand the emotion behind every word you wrote. Very touching indeed! Keep writing :)
