Poem: Lost Me

Alas I am forgotten
a dinner of hummingbird meat.
The interest I sparked
waned to a coal.
Dead ember,
Thy name was Love.
What turns one's heart
so quickly away
be it words
from one's family,
or friends?
A counsel of many
who have never met me
how false
a trial
by "peers."

Though I'll thank you
again
for our moments of life;
Reminding me how to feel.
While those I
don't know
cast judgements on me
with the dubious evidence
of my writing.

Fools
I call them!
Jelous traitors too!
To envy another's love
and tear it into pieces.
How comfortable it is
to bring others down
to your level.

Yet I did taste it, yes!
That love I never thought
to feel again
and for that little time
I had no need to cry
just knowing that
I was loved
again.
