Requiem For A Marriage Poem by Phil Soar

And now our love has had its final fling
And all our energy has slipped away
What future waits for us 'neath Cupids wing
To catch us once again
Its game to play

What memories will love, then leave behind
What heartache will it cause for those who stay
To try and piece together what they find
And wonder why such love could slip away

Tis only consolation that they seek
In digging up our deep and caring past
If only we had taken time to speak
We may have saved our love, and made it last

To many, we were such a loving pair
They did not see the torment deep inside
They did not feel the hurt, or see despair
The damage that was done
The injured pride

Deceiving is a damning blow to fall
Upon the only place inside the mind
Then when it does, your minds bereft of all
The memories it keeps, for you to find

Your love, for me, was total, so I thought
And never did I once deceive your heart
Yet your unfaithfullness has left me fraught
With feelings that have torn my world apart

So many days of love we shared as friends
That at this time of parting, should we stay?
And patch the broken memory that ends
When hearts that were as one, are led astray

Believe me when I say 'No arms can hold
You, Like I held you, when we were in love
Yet I will love you 'till my blood runs cold
And I can watch over you, from up above
