The world is not an easy place for lovers.
Or for the brokenhearted.
Too many obstacles will hover,
when love has come and now’s departed.
The world is not an easy place
for those that loved and lost their way.
For all of their moments are now gone
and all their dawns are hued of gray.
The world is not an easy place
for whole now halved and strewn about.
no hand to hold, nor warm embrace
can erase the ugly stains of doubt.
The world is not an easy place
When things have changed and not for best,
To feel the sting of deep regret
When none have won and failed love’s test.
The world is not an easy place,
And will never offer up some ease,
For hearts once high come crashing down,
To supplicate on bended knees.
The world is not an easy place,
For extinguished flame to once more live.
Because once-lovers bear the shame
Of never knowing to forgive.
