'Tis A Pity Poem by John Sensele

‘Tis a pity love passed me by
Just when I needed comfort the most
To cajole me, caress me, heal my cry
When all I received was love's ghost at high cost.

‘Tis a pity love stole my peace of mind
Just when I needed her by my side
To feel me, fondle me, find
The space within her where she hid my pride.

‘Tis a pity love took my breath away
Just when I needed her assurance
To boost my confidence, to show me the way
To the soft heart that my peace of mind could always advance.

‘Tis a pity love sent me thorns
Just when I needed her embrace
To blow for me horns
That told me once again we'd meet face to face.
