A Four Letter Word

I thought I found, the one meant for
me.

Who knew what we would feel, or what
we would see?

The touch of her skin, and the smile
that she shows.

As I whisper in her ear and tell her
that she glows.

I look in her eyes, then I feel that
I'm lost.

I gave all my heart, who knew what it
would cause?

 

I've lost my hopes, and stopped
having dreams.

Nothing ever works, the way that it
seems.

I lie to myself, every day that goes
by.

Tell myself it'll work, just give it
a try.

It is said all the time, but rarely
is it heard.

Love is just another, four letter
word.
