It Was Not Enough...

Love was not enough for us,
Though we were much in love.
We started down,
The well-worn path,
But it was not to be.

Delight was not,
Enough for us,
Nor tenderness that moved.
Through years of being angry.
Towards some dark,
Bitter sea.

Our differences,
Were far too great,
Our lives too far apart.
We didn't like,
Each other much,
But put that truth aside.

Until one day,
It was too late
To reignite the heart.
One told the other,
Who agreed.
At last that it had died.

But then,
Ah,then!
We felt our loss,
As unstoppable pain.
As deep and inconsolable,
Unbearable regret.

And all alone,
We had to cross,
That desert once again.
That we might know,
That we had loved.
Too much too
Soon forget.
