Old And Alone by Bipedalguy

I had loved and I had lost,
and I had suffered the cost.
The lesson learned through broken heart,
was not to let a romance start.

Words of love remained unspoken,
lest my heart again be broken.
Words of love never told
are forever young. They can’t grow old.

The lesson is now clear to me.
I should have known, but didn’t see.
I have reaped as I have sown.
And now I have grown old alone.

short, sweet and heartbreaking
Wow man, that is powerful! (and your rhythym and sensitivity to word-choice is great). Depressing, yes, but well-written. Keep it up!

Old and Alone
Another magnificent poem that cuts into the heart. Thank goodness there are people like you who can express what we all feel, but cannot explain.

Words of love never told are forever young
A unique perspective from a unique "forever young" mind. You caught our fancy once again. Thanks for your authenticity.

Thanks
Thanks Puppet, Renee, and Joan/Rolie.
I appreciate the nice words you wrote about "Old and Alone". I'm still trying to write the Limerick about "peaches". I have a few other poetry projects on the back burner, but sometimes I just get stuck.
Thanks again, Bipe

And so..
To my dreams did go,
That in them my heart may still be free
and surround myself with those I love
To keep them ever close to me
And smile with wonder as a new born babe
though my you be long since done
for no one is alone who has a friend
even if just one.

Well written Bipe, I enjoyed this thoroughly. Very, Very, well done, profound, a master piece indeed.
