Poem -
Wasted Love
Donât tell me that loveâs never wasted,
thereâs always a little remains,
that love  never dies
except in your eyes
and all that Iâve left is the pain
Donât  say that tomorrowâs a new day,
and yesterdayâs passed and now gone,
that itâs all ok
is the best you can say
empty words that can comfort no one
Donât think that at night I sleep soundly,
have dreams of life through tinted glass,
that my pillows not wet
nothing makes me forget
and the sadness I feel just wonât  pass
So stop trying so hard to imagine
you know what it feels to be me,
I know youâre not to blame
but I wish all the same
youâd get out of my grief sanctuary

Hello lodigiana, I think you captured the relentless torment grief brings to the heart and mind beautifully here. Ending on such a great line. Thought the rhythm in this peace to really hold a beat to each stanza. I don't think we ever fully let go of such a loss

GHi Gwen, I was thinking back to my youth and the feeling of ânoone can possibly ever understand the pain of loss and betrayal â and yes you are quite right ...that feeling came right back and never really goes completely does it?Thank you so much for reading and your kind words.Lodigiana xx
WOW!! LODIGIANA!!.....this is a Stinging surge into that kind of pain that (at least for me) plows through your guts when you're young and it's the first time you have felt it.... I remember the first time I felt the sting of betrayal.....I didn't come out of my bedroom for nearly two weeks........couldn't eat....she broke my heart.....I have never been quite the same when it came to the whole trust thing again!!.....you have conveyed that/those feelings with great poetic authority here.....PINNED!!....smokin' grooves dear poet sister!.......smokin' Grooves!!.......LOVE & ROCKETS!!.......T xo : )
Hi Tony ...trust is such a fragile gift that once itâs fractured it loses itâs power to allow you to place your faith in the unknown..You describe your first experience of this betrayal so vividly and I can so relate to that feeling...even after so many intervening years..I think we spend the rest of our lives trying to find  that part of trust we lost..sometimes we get lucky my friend..and thatâs the faith you have to keep alive..thank you dear poet brother..love and boundless faith to you always...Lodi xxx
Dear lodigiana, You've well expressed your inner feelings, and best wishes. Yiyan
Thank you so much Yiyan, I hope you enjoyed the read my friend. Lodigiana x
My Dear Lodigiana,
You have written a beautiful testimonial to the fact that true love never dies, and those that intercede, have never experienced it. Â
All my love,

Beautifully expressed and we al yearn and long for stability in relationships and sometimes we are content, then circumstances change and the polar opposite rears its unwanted presence.
We move on and learn, learn quickly but never forget.
Wonderful poem demonstrating how it is and with a wonderful rhyme scheme.
It is so good to see you writing, regardless of theme and writing quality in full flow.
Apologies for being late for this one but wish you a Merry Christmas and the loved ones around you.
Stay safe and above all stay warm and healthy this festive season my talented and generous friend.

Hi Lodigiana, love/heartache never really leaves us. time passes and people say it heals but I can't always agree with that. I feel that life and its dramas get in the way of the constant, yet when your memories catch up, it's just as raw
everyone grieves differentlyÂ
Gave me another to ponder this one
