She gave me a love I never knew.
Each day, each hour it only grew.
Broke my heart open so it could become anew.
And I will love her forevermore.

She showed me a life that I didn’t know existed.
Family so close and loving I never knew how much I missed it.
Truly blessed to be even a small part of it.
The thought of it touched me to the core.

Every day she was more amazing than the last.
We told each other about our trouble past.
We held each other with words iron cast.
And said we loved each other more.

We talked, we cried, we laughed a lot.
We had nights that got rather hot.
We said we would never ever not.
Love each other nevermore.

All those secrets that we shared.
And just how much we really cared.
Our souls we deeply bared.
And always wanting for more.

And then one day, a mistake I made.
Angry words flew and I was forbade.
Told to wait while her rage would fade.
And I was never afraid more.

Rebuked for expressing my feelings.
Denied any and all dealings.
Our love it wasn’t healing.
She cut me too, even more.

I gave her time to regain our love’s health
While she put me high up on a shelf.
All alone and by myself.
Not a crumb did she leave on the floor.

I finally raged and demanded.
This treatment, I couldn’t understand it.
Punished for a mistake I never planned it.
I had to know the score.

Instead of her love I got hate.
She says she loves me but it’s too late.
I guess this was our love’s only fate.
As she walked right out the door.

She gave me much, and took pieces of my heart away.
Hopefully I’ll find them along my path someday.
I learned much although my heart is gray.
And I’ll love her forever more. More.
