My Loss
         by Barbara Mather

A fool am I to have known love, yet let it fall away
Or a fool am I to have believed
That love was here to stay

Condemned am I to live on now in misery
Or blessed am I
To have still the amorous memory

The precious treasure that my heart holds dear
Was but a fleeting episode
In the other's wretched year

Eternity stretches far beyond what even the sharpest mind can see
In the waking day I walk alone
In the dark hours the heart breaks free

My burden is heavy, weighing down my soul
The only respite is hope
One day again I will be whole

Tomorrow, the tears will dry the wound will heal and the longing will cease
But my muse my love my evergreen fantasy
Today my loss is all that I feel
