Beautiful brown eyes <br />Curly locks of dark black hair <br />Skin as smooth as silk itself <br />A voice so pure and innocent <br />Lips full of passion and trust <br /> <br />Love unmatched yet guidance lost <br />A look into her eyes tells me the cost <br />We sit along the beach on a mild night <br />As the cool wind tells us this won’t last <br /> <br />Time has passed and eroded our foundation <br />The foundation that was so strong <br />It wasn’t as long as I had hoped <br />But direction was lost long ago <br /> <br />Treading along behind that fake smile <br />It will end in a short while <br />Passion turns into lust and denial <br />We can’t hold on anymore <br />So fate eventually closes our door <br /> <br />I may know why it went so wrong <br />Perhaps it was me all along <br />I'll weep over what I thought should be <br />Although it was really never meant to be<br /><br />Keith Oliver<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-meant-to-be-4/
