In what garden of error <br />Is there greater despair <br />Than the substitute <br />For love's pure bloom? ... <br /> <br />Which is the open wound <br />In an immovable ground <br />That makes of love's a weed <br />To depart while it bleeds? ... <br /> <br />The lie is disclosed, <br />Defrauded-exposed... <br />The diamond-only glass <br />Which falls from truth-then cracks... <br /> <br />False love-fly from me! <br />Or I will run away from thee, <br />While the surface blistered still, <br />My broken dream-I cannot heal! ... <br /> <br />Silent lie- perish and be gone, <br />Much of life is yet condone, <br />When from past shall present borrow, <br />This burden shall weigh less of sorrow...<br /><br />Romeo Della Valle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/questions-waiting-for-answers/
