sad love poem

tonight i will write
my last sad love poem
no more tears
no more use of the words
what could have been
what should have been
and what might have been
tonight is the night
i only start writing about
what is and what will be
with you in my life
the words have ceased to pour
from an open wound
slashed by past lovers
now the words
boil and bake
in the hearth of my heart
they simmer and sizzle
until they are ready to be served
to you my love/baby/darling/saviour
and in case i ever lose this feeling
of happiness
tonight i will write
my last sad love poem
as a reference
to a period in my life
before i knew what happiness
truly was and before i knew
how incomplete
i really was
without you
