Lost Love
by Michelle Goodale

Love is something not always seen
Sometimes not till you lose it.
By then it hurts
You feel it inside
It’s something you can’t get back
You do all you can to replace it
You want it back so bad.
Anything would be done at your expense
To regain lost love
It tugs at your heart
Till it feels like breaking
It pumps at you
Till it feels it must burst
Lost love
Is like a ghost
It’s there but it’s not
It’s like God
You feel it but do not see it
It’s hard to imagine
How one who’s experienced it feels
But look into their eyes
And you shall see and feel
What they feel
