Love Poem: Lost Love

Lost Love

Crater
stuck in the centre of my heart
spilling out blood
for you

I am unteathered from this earth
from your tender arms that once held me close
and my world
as it spins obtusely out of control
shrinks all that much more

for the loss of your love
is almost too much to bare

our flame
once burning into the shallow depths of the evening
is now out
without ceremony
my love is discarded and I am left


with these unresolved issues
that go round and around and tear at my heart 
longing for the times were were together instead
apart.
