This "sad love poem" was originally written after I found out that the woman I loved, had continuously lied to me about almost everything. Please remember this was 5 years back and I am now happily engaged to a beautiful woman. This is just to share the poetry that I have done and maybe one day I will get a publisher to see the rest of my work.
Sad Love Poem
A Temple Destroyed


I don’t know how to start
Or even how all this is going to end,
What I do know is that my love has been betrayed
And that a feeling of despair has started to run through my veins.

The thought of her with another man kills me inside,
Slowly devouring my soul,
I have been told a lie
I really just wish that I would die.

I am afraid of touching the one I love
I fear that I may touch where so many men have touched before,
Her body was once holy to me and now it stands desecrated before my eyes,
I cant help but wonder what will be the next lie

Though this is the past,
The horrible spell has been cast.
I cannot forget nor can I rewind
I can only blame the nature of mankind
