Fictional poem of a sad ending to a love story

THE LOVE THAT DIED

Reflecting back to days long past,
Remembering how it used to be
When love was young and innocent
Days of pleasure, no discontent,
I remember back to you and me.

Days when the sun always seemed to shine,
Every rainbow held a pot of gold
Our love was warm bringing nothing but pleasure
I thought it was ours, always to treasure
I never dreamed your heart would grow cold.

When you said, that day, it was her not me,
When you spoke words of love, to me, you had lied
As you walked away I felt so deceived
And like the Autumn leaves
My heart slowly died.

A compelling read Pat, bittersweet with Autumn leaves and then the rainbow. Even though it is fictional this is part of life's ups and downs~

beautiful love poem though it died, yet having experienced love at its best times is great enough! Thanks for sharing.
