 Harry Sweeden. My life in verse.

Love (2011)


There is no more that I can give you
for I have nothing left inside me to give
nothing of change will make my love stronger
nor lessen the things that love did.

First love captured my heart, kept away sadness
each new sunrise would burst into view
then passion awoke of the man born inside me
and showed me that love was the truth.

Love then took me afar to places of wonder
and taught me of a love never known
a lover of beauty, this world that God gave us
in every flower or insect that grows.

But then love took all I am and made of me weaker
when love left me to never return
now the sunrise just rises, as night-time will follow
and the emptiness love left will just yearn.
