Love Lost

You say, "'Tis better to have loved and lost..."
I ask you, fool, at what cost
Is that love? That which you speak?
Cause the love that I've lost has battered me weak
To my knees--Now please explain that?
I'm shakin right now as a matter of fact.
If love had eluded and left my ass blind,
I wouldn't fell filled up with hurt all the time.
You can only feel hunger if you've eaten before.
If you've never had money, can't feel quite so poor.
So having lost love, I can tell you my friend,
You'll never feel right if you can't hold her again.

    Having a bad day Ott?

    When you meet that one, all this will make sense. Been there. Spent hours trying to make someone love me that couldn't. Then, meeting one who did, it was so easy. No wasted hours. Looking back, it was a real waste of time.

    Actually, I'm just bored during lunch and felt like posting some old poems for a bit of feedback. Thanks for the encouragement, though. I am still trying to figure women out (like that'll ever happen). Always looking...

    Just look and stop figuring. We can't even figure ourselves out.

    "tis always better to have loved than not
    for at least you know what love is
    for some they are still searching
    for love that never seems to come
    they want know if love is Love
    they want to know if Love is Real

    Is it something to have and to hold
    is it something to enjoy and behold
    is it something that one day will grow cold
    or is something that was made to share
    and if that person you shared it with has move on

    It's time to find another, to share a love song

    your poetry is great well written and very true.

    what happens to those who love someone who's loved by everyone else?
    "If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be peace." John Lennon

    My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return, but now here you are, and here i am.

    Be happy in the crowd but don't think it's love.
