Alone To Long

  'Alone Too Long'

Love lies, where it was left,
Cast away...totally bereft.
It lies dying, upon the lawn,
Left unfed, for oh so long.

Love is like a living thing;
It eats the food, one does bring.
Absorbing kindness and tender care,
Feeding on the joy, it sees there.

When love is left alone too long,
Not knowing to whom it belongs;
It crawls within itself to hide,
Rejects food and finally dies.

Love was cast at parting feet,
When lovers felt the loss of heat.
It was cast out to die alone,
Having no heart...to call home.

So love lies dying where it fell,
Fading fast...as all can tell.
Leaving a world of hurt and cold,
Full of sadness and stories untold.

When love is left...alone too long,
It crawls within...and then...is gone.

Wow I am amazed and left speechless. I loved every sentence of this poem. I loved the lines:
Leaving a world of hurt and cold,
Full of sadness and stories untold.
This poem narrates those true emotions one goes through when their love is gone. Truly well written. :)

well said Kathy! many, many thoughts and feelings inspired .. towards the end i read how God's Love so much and long rejected and unfed ...so sadly will turn and walk alone towards Heaven ... :( i love the sound wisdom you impart ..we must tend that flower of love ..prune it, fertilize it and make sure of its sunny location ... its such a double tragedy when i read about married couples for decades are calling it quits ... having over and over failed to offer the least bit of kindling .. instead tramp it out ;((

Yes, there are too many divorces. Many of the young think desire and lust are love. They can be a part of loving but not love actually. Kathie
