Life and Love

The morning draws near,
a cup between her 
hands.
She watches as the leaves 
fall from the trees
and ponders 
the many things that 
she has faced. 
Love, loss, heartache, joy, 
the birth of new life,
the hope in new 
love, 
the sadness when it ended and 
the joy that comes in the morning
after the sorrow of the night. 

He sits at the light, 
waiting,
pondering how 
he lost her. 
The one who listened 
to him 
when he was down, 
the one who 
gave him 
everything; everything 
he ignored. 
Never did he look 
to see what he had
only longed for what he no 
longer did. 
He has experienced so much 
in his life, he 
has forgotten the joy 
in the simple moments of 
life. 
He lost what he should have kept 
and now while the light is red
he ponders how he 
lost. 

Life and love 
bring about 
things we can't see 
when its right in front of us. 
She sees a man lost in his own 
pain and misery while he sees 
what he no longer has. 
She prays for him each and every 
night, 
He hides behind a wall 
and drowns her memory each 
and every night. 
It is only in the dawning of a new 
morning 
do they realize what 
they no longer have. 
He wishes for a way back, 
she wishes for a mend 
to her broken heart. 
Guarding it, 
keeping it hidden 
for no one else to 
find.
