Lost Love Poem by Jerik Middleton

Sadness has me in its stranglehold,
It has me by the throat.
If only I had her to hold,
to remove this painful choke.

Someone wanting me, not likely,
They always want someone better.
Will she ever want to be with me?
Doesn’t she know I get her?

I know how they should be treated,
But it just never seems enough.
In the end I am defeated,
And it makes my life tough.

Karma is a pain I’ve heard,
Or so some people say.
It is not my favorite word,
It haunts me to this day.

So I made mistakes in my past,
I have learned from every one.
I just want a relationship to last,
So my sadness can be done.

I called her my angel,
She just came and went.
I couldn’t sense the danger,
So to her my heart I sent.

My heart was sent and broken,
Played with like a toy.
Will I ever find real love?
Will I ever feel that joy?
