Lost Love

Long dark brown hair,
A vail with white flowers placed upon her head,
Down the aisle he watched lead.

Silk laced gown,
The love they've finally found.
Black tux with a bow tie,
But sometimes love can turn into a lie.

But the photo proved tight hands clasped together,
They once loved each other.
Both set of eyes so engaged on inner thoughts,
She can't believe the love they've lost.

Nineteen years years seems like a mistake,
They seperated for their own sakes.
Never thought of their daughters fears,
Or how many tears, all three would soon shed.
I guess this means some things are better left unsaid.

I wrote this poem last year. It is about the seperation of my parents. And while I wrote this I was gazing at their wedding photo.

Ashlei.
