Fall From Love

by Samantha - Scorpio

Your love was something I thought would never wash away
But like a letter written in the cold wet sand
You drifted with the crashing waves of the sea
To somewhere unknown and so far gone
That I just know, you won't ever be coming back

There was once a day where I held you high above all else
Nothing else existed unless you were a part of it
Or, in some conditions, the creator of it
You were something to me that I could not, cannot, ever fully explain
It's difficult, really, to even explain it to myself

But you did exist at one time
Though at times, it feels as though I had created you in a dream
Or more or less a fairytale
Were you a poem I had once written?
Or a story I had once read?
Oh how I wish you were
For it would have been easier on me to let you go at the time

At first, you seemed different
Unlike all the rest
You treated me like your own highly prized queen
How could it have been, that right when I needed you, you appeared?
Ready and willing to open yourself up
And let me in

But like the coming winter 
You grew cold as well
Shut yourself apart from the world, as well as from me
The fire of our lives was being watered down by your sudden anger and hatred 
And the winter was the coldest of all others

I took it harshly at first
The man of my life had turned, walked away
Left me there, naked and bare
Left to myself and my own brutal awakening
Where did it all go wrong?
What had I done?

Now as the winter turns to spring
And all the leaves revive
So does my heart
And it's will to go on
And find love once again.
