Love That Never Was Poem by Qiniso Mogale

I believed it was love
I was convinced it was love
I hoped against hope it was love
I was told it was Love
Those who saw it said it was love
But it was not love
The love that never was.

The love that never was
It was infatuation not love
It was lust not love
It was obsession not love
It was one-sided love
It was all a lie
Yes, it was all a lie.

Some hearts never heal
Some hearts remain broken
Some hearts never mend
Sometimes love never knows when to die
Sometimes love never knows when to die.

The love that never was
The love that was never meant to be
The love that brought so much heartache
The love the brought about bitterness
The love that brought about sadness
The love that ended In hatred
The love that ended in war
The love that never was.
