A
Broken Clasp
So passionately we were
in love.
We knew it would last forever.
I gave my heart and soul to you.
You promised you would leave me never.
An angel gave us a necklace
To place around each heart.
With the security of these blessed links,
Our love would never depart.
We lived and loved,
so carefree and gay
For such a very long time.
Suddenly one day something happened,
Your love was no longer mine.
You left me for another.
My tears were hard to hide.
I never thought I could ache like this.
I cried and cried and cried.
After a very short time,
you came back,
Much to my surprise!
You told me you never stopped loving me.
Now you had tears in your eyes.
That same angel came
to you last night,
Placed a broken clasp in your hand.
Our love was always tried and true.
So now we both understand
