Love Poem: Alone Here I Stand

Alone Here I Stand

I hold you in my embrace,
Then you pull away,
You hide your face,
It is I you betray.

So happy we were,
So much in love,
I see you at the altar,
A love from above.

Now the love we knew,
Gone in an instant,
Why can't we renew,
My heart, no longer present.

You at one end,
I at the other,
Not willing to bend,
What is the answer?

I look at you,
You look away,
What did I do,
What did I say?

So many questions,
Not any answers,
You cling to the curtains,
I think of my failures.

You walk out the door,
Your bag in hand,
It is you I adore,
Alone here I stand,
Why?
