The Pain Of Love

He’s gone,
And she knows he’s not coming back
The promises -
Just that,How could she have missed the lies,
Disguised as flowers at rainbow’s end?

Who is it who knows the emptiness
Brought on when love departs without warning
And takes with them all that you are
For you trusted
Because that’s what you thought love was about
And you gave the best of all that you are
And thought that you were getting it in return
And even if it wasn’t everything that you had hoped for
It was still the best it could be
Or so you thought
Until this morning
When love walked unexpectedly out the door

God knows this life can hurt you
The lesson now is
You know...
Love is never a sure thing
