You can't go back to

Just words

                                   You can't go back to

I wanted everything and I wanted nothing.

You held me so tightly. Made me feel so loved and so needed.

I was fleeing love when the flame was alive and growing.

I left you and abandoned you to descend to heartbreak and a self-made prison of sadness.

Today I remember pale white skin against my flesh and shining eyes of love.

I learn. When love dies. Love is dead. Your sadness became my sadness.

I learn the misfortune act of a foolish man learn too late.

You can't  go back to love that was forsaken and abused.

"I wanted everything and I wanted nothing.

It's amazing how confusing our feelings can be sometimes. Want everything
yet nothing but you know you loved being held and feeling loved.
Awesome write I can definitely relate to :)

Thank you Aaron. All of us must learn the value of love.

Older men nurture. They slow down and appreciate, think more about the things they leave behind and the things they have left, to keep :) Very thought-full writing, dear poet

Thank you Lynn. You are right. The older we get. The more we learn. Love is a rare and a true gift.

No romantic love must be cherished and nurtured if it is to be maintained … poignant write, my friend.

Based on old poetry from the early eighties. Digging out old poetry and writing better. I hope. Thank you Pryde for reading and the comment.
