joy lemoine Powell - I Know

something you do not
that love is very precious...
anger and bitterness can destroy it
like water to a flame …
when you have journeyed that far
there is no way back …
How sad it must be for you
to be alone …
Sadder still knowing you will be alone
even when you are with someone …
for you have not learned to love without
gain
I suppose that is why all your
relationships have been in vain …
I wish you well; I wish you love
and peace of heart…
