Yesterdays Sadness Poem by Dennis Fenton

In the shadows of my heart lies a vision of a love long lost
A love so true it was worth it to try to keep it at all cost
She had a beauty and inner strength twice her size
Wisdom beyond her years always looking towards the prize
Somewhere in all of that love we forgot about each other
Went through times we did not want to be lovers
This vision haunts me from then until this day
For all of my sins I regret and still pay
She was a kindred spirit my love my soul mate
To lose her forever sealed my fate
A life of loneliness a life of sorrow
No love could be bought sold or borrowed


My whole life revolved around her every whim
Singing songs going to the movies and working out at the gym
She liked to dance to rock and roll as for me country was my thing
When she got mad the words from her would burn through my heart and sting
In all there was a tenderness and kindness to warm the heart
I begged pleaded and cried for months when she said we had to part
This vision haunts me from then until this day
For all of my sins I regret and still pay
She was a kindred spirit my love my soul mate
To lose her forever sealed my fate
A life of loneliness a life of sorrow
No love could be bought sold or borrowed
