Years Poem by Cherry Kell

We met by chance
on a summer day
We fell in love
to everyones dismay.

Some people would say
' how could this be'
others would say
' It won't last, you'll see'.

But as the years went by
we were always together
though the good and the bad,
no matter the weather.

In all those years I set my goal
I tried to mend your trouble soul.
I sailed through darkness
and i sailed through pain
for our love
I fought in vain.

But in the end
I felt worn out
and of that love
I started to doubt.

It wasn't equal
and now i know
but i was too blind
to just let go.

Alone you left me
with only tears
a bottle of wine
and all my fears.

I picked myself up
but it took so long,
Distraught I was
no longer strong.

But weakness subsided as months went by
no longer your shadow
Reborn was I.
