The greatest love I've ever known <br />Was snatched away by fate <br />It left me with dark shadows <br />Also bitterness and hate <br /> <br />It threw me close to madness <br />Cloaked my soul in deep despair <br />Her scent was all around me <br />Then disappeared into thin air <br /> <br />I felt her breath upon my cheek <br />Her touch upon my face <br />Her presence pulls at every step <br />Like fragile strips of lace <br /> <br />She clouds my thoughts in unknown ways <br />At night I hear her sighs <br />I force the burning tears to stop <br />As they rush to fill my eyes <br /> <br />Fate is fickle at its best <br />We are as so much grain <br />Why give to me an angel <br />Then replace her with such pain.<br /><br />Graham Jones<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-greatest-love-3/
