A Loves Tale Poem by Matthew Holloway

A loves tale
~
And so it came as though foretold
a life of solitary was no more
the silent nights came to an end
the dinners for one, gone cold
a heart found wandering
entwined with another
this twist, this plot unforeseen
but one night claimed it
one night began it all
and the solitary heart fell hard
till its life, all it knew
and all it had forever expected
became nothing, a ghost
the forlorn memories
forgotten
now a new life stalks
echoes in each night
where two hearts entwine
there is a love present
and I claim it as mine
