Love Tragedy Poem by Tricia Whyte

Love Tragedy



I have said this so many times
Trust me I’m willing to pay the fines
There he was knocking on my heart’s door
Knowing I have heard this all before
But who is keeping score

Let me in so I could do some damage
I’ll only give love that you could manage
His eyes were bright and deep
Tormenting me in my sleep
He said he is playing for keeps

There I have done it again
Fallen in love with my friend
This was not suppose to happen
Neighbors say it is too rotten
For a woman to be so forgotten

In the middle of the sun’s beam
While rivers flow down stream
I have departed from my lover
For the arms of another
One glorious summer

Some say I did the right thing
Others claim it to be just a fling
Every morning I wake up smiling
At night I never go to bed crying
God, I ask you for some understanding

Watching my tears fall like rain
Falling in love caused so much pain
In life nothing is secure
In love that was never pure
Now I am looking for a cure

Death came calling one spring
Took with him my Jim
I was left alone to recover
Soon my love ones will discover
The petals of this wounded flower.
