Burden of Love Gone
When no more love is there
to be shared
and bring light
to everyday things
that tear corners
of hearts, add fear,
doubt, annoyance,
the thought of burden comes to surface,
it makes you question
why you stay,
locked in a place
you don’t feel is your own
anymore.
Don’t look sadly at what is gone,
you have loved
and been cherished
if today
is not full of trust,
look where devotion flies
when you are quiet and think
about flowers
the ones you’ve grown,
the fragrance
that welcomed every step
you took.
Don’t linger in a cellar,
go out to meet new light,
if you feel there’s a burden
on heart and soul
fly once again
find happy place
beloved in the now
future passion in waiting.
Excuses and regrets
can’t cover lack of love,
build the life you have dreamed of
starting this minute.
