Love Lost

Not being able to kiss this soft neck,

Or fold myself into close-loving embrace,

Now being turned away whenever I even just get close,

Has become the unbearable torture!

To be so unrecognised by one who had (until recently) professed so highly to love me,

Feels like the horror of a child suddenly not being recognised by its own mother...

Where has that love suddenly gone to, at the push of a switch...?

...How can you do this?

To be loved is all I ever wanted,

And now my one wish, while never being granted, is also thrown back in my face -

Teeth smashed out,

Heart in tatters.

To you,

It appears as if nothing at all matters!...
