THE LOVE HE LOST

He walked with a smile
as he lived his life
But what was not shown
cut just like a knife

He worked all he could
to help fill the void
Forgetting the love
which fate had destroyed

Yet deep in the smile
he hid his own shame
Since he lost his love
it wasn't the same

He can't figure out
why he let love die
He'd sit back and think
and still wonder why

He doesn't deny
what he had done wrong
For as time moved on
his heart had grown strong

Emotions are still
what they used to be
but he has controlled
the dark misery

His life's now fulfilled
though sadness is there
to speak of the love
he lost in despair
