The Ballad Of Lost Love: A Poem Of Loneliness, Sadness, And Hope

Published May 17, 2023

I have lost you, and I lost you fairly; 

In my heart, there is no bitter cry. 

I am glad that you went away as you did, 

For I could not have lived the lie.

***

I shall always love you, and you will know it; 

You will feel it, though I speak it not. 

I shall always be true, and you will believe me, 

Though I should falter, and forget.

***

I shall always be strong, and you will be tender; 

You will shield me with your strength and faith. 

I shall always be weak, and you will be strong, 

To lift me up and bear me on.

***

I have lost you, and I lost you fairly; 

The blame is mine, and yet I blame not you. 

I shall still love you, and you will know it; 

You will feel it, though I speak it not.

***

I shall clasp your hand in mine in the darkness, 

And feel your heart beat close to mine. 

I shall hear your voice in the silence, 

And see your face in the dream.

***

I shall wait for you, and you will come to me, 

Out of the unknown, out of the night. 

I shall know you, and you will know me, 

And we shall be one again.

***

I have lost you, and I lost you fairly, 

But I shall find you, and I shall win you back. 

I shall claim you, and you will be mine, 

Forever and ever.

***

I have lost you, and I am lonely. 

The world seems cold and dark and empty.

 I long for your touch, your voice, your smile. 

I long for the warmth of your love.

***

I have lost you, and I am afraid. 

I am afraid of the future, I am afraid of being alone. 

I need you to be strong for me, to guide me, to protect me. 

I need you to love me.

***

I have lost you, and I am sad. 

I am sad for the love we shared, the dreams we had, the plans we made. 

I am sad for the time we will never have together. 

I am sad for the life we will never live.

***

I have lost you, but I will never forget you. 

You will always be in my heart, 

in my mind, in my soul. 

I will always love you.

***

I will find a way to get through this, 

And I will come out stronger on the other side. 

I will not let this defeat me, Because 

I know that I am meant to be with you.

***

I will wait for you, 

and I will never give up hope. 

I know that one day we will be together again. 

Until then, I will keep your memory alive in my heart.
