The love that I felt in so many ways, <br />The talks that we shared for so many days, <br />The feelings I had are no longer in place, <br />They are withered and wasted away. <br /> <br />The friends that I lost after moving again, <br />Not even a tear shed out of the pain, <br />For in my life it pours when it rains, <br />They are withered and wasted away. <br /> <br />All the times my heart was broken, <br />All the words I left unspoken, <br />Not one is left as a bitter token, <br />They are withered and wasted away. <br /> <br />All of the loved ones I have lost, <br />All of the pain I felt as a cost, <br />Just like a midwinter morning frost, <br />They are withered and wasted away.<br /><br />Joseph Cross<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/withered-and-wasted/
