Lost

wandering in oblivion after losing the battle for the 'one' i had so dearly sought

How difficult nowadays life seems

The rigmarole i once hated , now feels like a dream .

In this heart of mine once there was light

As i had hopes pinned on my last fight .

Time and again I bared my all to endure the whip

Yet good times always somehow managed to give me a slip .

Now as darkness engulfs the horizon , the outcome is almost clear

The battle is almost lost , a painful fact that i have to bear .

I might feel satisfied cause with all my strength i fought

But the horrifying outcome will always unsettle me as i lost my precious , the one i had so dearly sought ...

May be i missed the quintessential kick that was needed for a start

Or maybe lady luck never came by to play her much needed part .

Whatever be the reason , the outcome makes me feel wrought

Coupled with the painful reminders that it has with itself brought .

"Life is all about going on" thou may say

But is it truly a 'LYF' if i could never have it my own way ???

Author's Note

'LYF' is written that way purposely . so don't consider it as a lingo error

You can never "loose true love I believe, and if she is willing you can always have faith that love does win out over everything, jealousy, hate, lies. Forgiveness is something that takes time, and now is her time. She has forgiven, and most likely would talk to you if you talk to her.
