Lost love to past love. . .


Sonnet 102, The Decision

Why has my truest lover gone away
his name unknown, no hand to pen a rhyme,
no voice, no breath to read to me by day,
no inspiration left from me, no time?

He came, I saw, he conquered all he knew,
then left to wait for me by yonder shore.
I came, he saw, I conquered his soul, too;
he disappeared when I went back for more.

My first love swears fidelity will last
as I did swear till death we shall not part;
yet, I recall his painful sins, the past –
while mine we know came from a broken heart.

Now, all I have to love is lover's verse,
from one the better – other one the worse.
