"Questions"

A Poem by Valentine

 

      "Questions"

 
What would the price have been?
How much would it have cost?
To of had your love forever,
Instead of heartache at loves loss.
 
Just what would it have taken?
Could wealth have paid the price?
To of had what every woman wants,
Love...marriage,a home...be yours for life.
 
Wasn't my all good enough?
Did you want silver and gold?
How could your love...run so hot,
And then...become so cold?
 
Just what does she offer you?
Can she love and give you more?
If youth means so much in life,
Can she...your youth restore?
 
What happens when you grow old,
And she is still in her prime?
When she seeks...a younger lover,
Will your heartache... echo mine?
 
Time will pass and my love will die,
Life goes on...this I know.
The day she leaves you all alone,
Just remember...I told you so!

All of us learn the hard way. Don't listen to old wisdom.
"Time will pass and my love will die,
Life goes on...this I know.
The day she leaves you all alone,
Just remember...I told you so!"
Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I can imagine this so easily slipping into some rhythm and being born as a slow but angst riddled song. Brilliant rendition of frustration and emotional perplexity the character is facing her.
Really liked the style Valentine. Cheers!

A story that has been told by many voices in many different ways. Sadly, an all too true happening in life.
I liked the way you told it. Smooth words with and even flow. (I do tend to agree with Fabian somewhat. But if I stumbled a bit, I could see the why of the how you penned this.)
Like many of your writings, this one stands the test of time well.

Great questions, and great answer: "I told you so"- sounds like what my mother would say :)

Yours and many other moms. Kathie
I was bothered by the "to of"....I think it should be "to have"..."to have had" but it only bothered me because the rest of the poem is so good and there we have this preposition acting crazy. I love the questions this asks of the mid-life crisis male and his "new" love. She restores only his illusion of youth and doctors his insecure ego that asks if he is still a man; can he cut the mustard? But it is an illusion. I'm beyond caring about such things myself; just settled in to dying a peaceful old bachelor with a loyal dog and notebooks full of poetry. But I must say that the older women I've known and dated were much more fun; more intelligent, more tender, more deeply caring and more interesting than the younger ones. It takes some living to learn some things about life that they just don't teach in books like comfort, respect and peace.

This is so full of heart break and yearning that I almost cried reading it. The power of love is an amazing thing. It may ease with time but it never dies.

Dear Valentine!
This is certainly a question that many of us have asked, as we have become the victim of "the other love"....and, you are right, in the end, she just might leave him all alone, and then he'll try to come limping back to his former love!! HA!
Excellent topic for realizing the reality of it!
Hugs, Sheila
