Love Poem No. 47

Love Prevails

How do I express how I feel?

When does the loss and anguish hurt me so?

My despair is deep and slow to heal

Despite times passing, my mood is low

I examine everything that has occurred

How betrayal was the order of the day

It hurts me so much to know how you have averred

To consider my feelings in any way.

Lies and deceit, used without recourse

Looking into my eyes, you denied the charge

Now you show all the signs of remorse

Knowing the truth is at large.

With tenderness and love, forgiveness is asked

Holding you gently, I feel this is just

Breathing deeply, my emotions are tasked

To provide you with hope; in me, you must trust

For as each new emotion upon me assails

At the end of it, my love for you prevails.
