Of time spent without you
Days that I had tried to fight
For a love I thought was true

Eighteen years of common sense
Thrown away without regard
Slumber in a cold suspense
Those days and nights were hard

At first I believed I was really alone
Soon it mattered no more
You were all I'd ever known
Always worth fighting for

Days of bliss in ignorance
Have somehow been depressed
As colors lose their pigments
I put myself to rest. [comments] => 2 [counter] => 266 [topic] => 48 [informant] => beautiful_letdowns [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

It's so hard when something we thought we knew turns out to be false...

You hit the nail on the head on the first line and your last stanza perfectly captured how it feels, or at least how it felt for me. It's a brave write.

From one abandoned soul to another, I wish you peace and strength. It gets better.

Be well,
Loende

There is a deep sense of loss within this poem. You express loss very in a very poetic manner and the emotion leaps from each line. In particular the line before the last. It is true, when we have lost love things are not as vivid or as blissful. I didn't enjoy reading this because of the sadness within. That would I fear, be a bit morbid. I did enjoy the poetic ability you shared with us and related to us in your poem. This is excellent writing.

God, Love, Muse
