A Sad Love Story

I sat here, this Sunday evening, speculating on what to write about. I have a lot of content sitting on my computer, which I will slowly over time post on this site, but I need to post new stuff. I need to write right now, and keep my muse up. I thought of any experience I could write about. What is there from my life that I could write on? Do I want to write an essay, a thoughtful article, or a poem? What I wrote fit best into poetic form. It is a love story. It is my love story. About my last love and me, having to part ways. I think it is a good poem, and worth putting into words. I think it reads a little bumpy though. I was trying a new way to write the poem, with the last word in the first and last line of each stanza being the same. Either way, I still think it turned out well.I hope you enjoy,Cuyler Callahan*******************************************************************************************A Sad Love StoryThey met through friendsThey fell much in loveThey got along wellNever fight, forever friendsShe came from far awayHe, born of this landShe would have to leaveBoth knew far far awayFaster time came unwanted,for separate ways to partA soldier, his land desiredParting, they greatly unwanted.One last night, together spentHis train then carried him awayOut of site, he cried tell sleepWiping her tears, she time spentHe called when duty allowedwhen digging trenches seizedShe happy to hear his voice,wished together they be allowedBoth dreamed not to let go,both knew it not possibleShe from a far away country,He a soldier, to chained to goSlowly reality took holdHe barely, his grip let goShe away, let grasp slipDreams slowly off holdShe is cross ocean, home againHe is afar cross country landDaily fleets she cross his mindHe has let go, It'll never be again
