Love Could Not Live

Love vibrates through

The heavens

Crying out desirous of a love

Beseeching its warm embrace

Yet it goes unfelt,

Unheard, unanswered

Hopes for a pragmatic love

Just a dream

Expectations being

Preconceived

For the universe could

Not grasp the greatness

Of her yearning,

This she had come to

Grips with because surely

None could provide fulfillment

Melancholy settles over her

As she carefully wraps

Her love back up in ribbons

Of longing, placing it back into

A box of disappointment

Sitting upon her empty bed

Of sorrow absent of emotion

For tears dried up years ago

And only out of habit did

She release its vibration

Out into the heavens

Knowing she would remain

A castaway on this island

Where love seemed

Could not live.........
