Pain Of Love (Love's Sorrow)

Laying here, still,
Along a river of love.
Looking into its depth,
Absent was love's reflection.

And the heart sank deep,
Into the murky dark waters.
Softly speaking aloud,
Why has love's hand left.

And why has despair stayed.

Why has love's hand,
Touched another but not here.
And below the surface,
Are feelings of heaviness.

Heaviness upon this chest,
Felt the pain of emptiness.
With pain of unhappiness,
Knowing Love's left for another.
