Desperately Wanting
I, having had the misfortune
To fall head over heels
You forever remorseless
I, desperately wanting to feel
The thrill of an adventure
A lover such that I had never known
And I have never recaptured
I remain alone
You came to me in midsummer
A knight in shining armor
The errant behavior a primer
A sign of things to come
Oh! How I loved your sadness
Like a Madonna loves her only child
Driving me to the edge of madness
Vain attempts to tame the wild
Years have passed no longer together
Sometimes in the fleeting I long for you still
A together you promised would be forever
Gone forever is the thrill
To fall head over heels
You forever remorseless
I, desperately wanting to feel
The thrill of an adventure
A lover such that I had never known
And I have never recaptured
I remain alone
You came to me in midsummer
A knight in shining armor
The errant behavior a primer
A sign of things to come
Oh! How I loved your sadness
Like a Madonna loves her only child
Driving me to the edge of madness
Vain attempts to tame the wild
Years have passed no longer together
Sometimes in the fleeting I long for you still
A together you promised would be forever
Gone forever is the thrill

The author encourages honest critique.
I think everyone has learned that lesson, Amanacer. It's a lovely expression regarding the experience of love and loss. I think when people make promises they truly mean them at the time. There are moments of truth that apply to that moment - before inevitable change steps in.
Love just simply cannot be controlled. It goes where it will.
