Welcome to My Poetry Site
'Twas when I lost you
'Twas when I lost you that I found you,
When my heart woke up at last,
And saw you in the light that I once
Saw you in the past.
A light that shone so brightly and then
One night it dimmed, like the moon
That slips behind a cloud,
Our love was wearing thin.
No heat remained to speak of,
No ember could I find,
Rose ashes in a cold fire grate,
A vague memory on my mind.
I woke to find you weeping, in the
Half-light before dawn,
I couldn't breath, I couldn't think,
How could I be so wrong?
I held you to my body, I asked if I
Should go? You shook
Your head, and rolled instead, to
Snuggled up real close
'Twas when I lost you that I found you,
When the scales fell from my eyes,
When I found what I'd been looking for,
Was here with me all the time.
