A Woman That Love Forgot Poem by Lora Colon

His love for me was evergreen,
Like the summer grass as it grows,
And like the first rose born to Spring,
He enthralled my days from start to close

A dark cloud passed, then he was gone,
And Love left me adrift at sea,
I wrapped my heart in weeds and stones,
Hoping to drown his memory

Why do I try to touch the stars,
And why do I talk to the moon?
The moon never said it loved me,
And the starlight fades all too soon

We do strange things when love departs
And leaves us with a burning pain,
Love forgot me, leaving memories
Of his kiss, and where his hands have lain

I welcome rain to hide my tears,
In the sun I cover my face,
No one could guess I miss him so,
Of my pain, I will show not a trace

I once pitied those without hope...
Without dreams...... what a sorry lot!
Now I belong to that wretched group,
I'm just a woman that Love forgot
