Love Lies In Ruins Poem by Mark Heathcote

What we called love once lies in ruins
There was a time not so long ago.
Each gesture was met with approvals
Fingers entwined, not so long ago.

We could agree on our home décor
Not so much as a word, was sworn
Every breath spoke of forevermore
Now every second day feels lovelorn.

I remember not so long ago
Making vows & promises as we kissed
We'll not separate not so long ago
We got on well and learned to coexist.

How times change each of our parting gifts
I'll take that & those, you can have this
Everything changes just as the sand shifts
Now there isn't even a parting kiss.

I don't blame you, no I don't blame you
I just long to, once again, kiss your lips
Brush aside all these clouds that omit
How I always loved you.
