A New Start Poem by Ray Hansell

It starts out as a friendship
But soon turns to love
It can be as beautiful
As all the stars above

You can't get enough of each other
You always want to be together
You dream how perfect life can be
Believing year after year gets better

But then one day you violate the trust
That the two of you had built
Little by little day after day
You see your love start to wilt

Like a flower with no water
Love dies a little more each day
If you had the power
You'd make it all go away

But you turned to someone else
You let them into your heart
Now here you are all alone
Trying to make a brand new start
