Nothing

You know nothing of love, he said

You know nothing of a broken heart

You know nothing of the pain that I have felt

You could not even begin to start

So he took in his hands my soul

He moulded it in his fashion

He drowned it in everlasting love,

Taught of unbridled passion.

But then his hands like a vice became

Squeezing it tight til I screamed

What must I do? Must I suffer too?

You destroy everything that I dreamed.

My soul when wrung out, hung limp in his hands 

As empty as I had become

Are you happy now? I asked through my tears

Surveying what he had done.

He cried out in anguish Oh now I can see

In my anger and hate, how wrong could I be?

Your beauty and love I had no right to doubt

Your pain is as true as the pain deep in me

But it was too late,the damage was done

My heart crying out to an empty soul

My love could have been the answer for him

So strong to once more make him whole

But by his hands he destroyed the thing that could help, 

A warm loving soul  so readily given 

A time and a space to share and to be

A love in an earth bound heaven

I know about love I shout to the stars

I know about a broken heart

I know about the pain, we have felt and shared

You taught me so well in the art.
