Have you heard…?
Tell me, have you heard what people say
To those whose loved ones pass away,
And the pain that won’t allay,
Persist for years and years?
Get over it!
Seriously, have you heard what some allege
About their vows when they did pledge
To love until a ripe old age,
Till Death erase their cares?
Don’t believe it!
Sadly, I have heard that love can die
With little warning it slips by…
In life, in death - I can’t tell why -
And leaves behind such tears.
I’ve seen it.

About this poem:
Love can die for different reasons. Two reasons are the physical loss of a loved one and the emotional loss of a 'once-loved' one. Both can be traumatic.

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear.” (1John 4: 18)
He said he loved me
And I thought I knew
What that really meant between us two.
And, at first, I tried
To make it true
By doing what I thought I knew
Was what he expected me to.
But alas, it all became
Such a strain to do and be what he wanted of me
And still I tried.
Unsatisfied.
He said He loved me
And though I didn’t truly know
I believed that He meant what He said.
I was delivered
By the Love He gave
To me, set free to do and be
What He willed of me.
And though His expectations of me
Are high, the strain is not the same.
He said He loved me
And, this time, I know it’s true.

About this poem:
The poem tells about the delusion of love versus the reality of love. It gives two scenarios - one in which love was heard as being present, and another in which love was actually felt.
