"Services rendered"

Love sometimes can be so sad..

''Services rendered'' she said in a soft voice

His back to her, stiff and rigid, cold as ice

She waited silently, eyes pleading, yet silent

For how does one plead for love, not once, but twice?

 

Forever, he long ago promised

On a golden dream filled night

With stars twinkling softly above 

Oh sweet heaven... What a beautiful sight!

 

His lips.. Soft and sensual, so loving 

Drawing from hers, honeydew moistness, kisses surreal 

Arms so protecting, radiating such strength and love

That only those blessed she knew, could only feel.

 

Yet here they now stood

Filled with anger, fear, and oh so alone

For where did it all go wrong;

Of a love that once so lovingly shone?

 

And as he now stood so silently

His back so rigid and cold

She felt the tears slowly start to fall

For a love that now has grown old.

 

Not once did he turn

Not to even look her way

And as the door slowly opened

She whispered softly..

 

"Services rendered"

Then watched... As he slowly walked away.

[Patches I'm not so new..]

A sad poem, the persona have touched a chord here not only in my heart but in possably all others who will read this and comment.
This is a story of hurt, possably beyond the limit of hurt a loss that may never be retrived. I believe that this persona should move on seek another for only with a new love a true love will this present hurt be assuaged.
A beautiful yet heart rending piece that IMO only a "New" love will make whole

If there is anything more poignant that unrequited love, it's a scene like this - where a once passionate and heart-felt love has died to a cold ember. It's a very visual piece - I can picture the scene vividly and the emotion is very honest. Good write!

how sad...when only one is totally in love...or committed to loving...it is sadly a visual that no one wishes to feel...unloved...

nice...but sad...
