Loved....and...Lost

I never wanted to love you,
it just happened by chance.
I didn't know where I was heading,
never wanted a part of romance.

Strange is the irony of life,
taught me to love when I didn't want.
And now I want to forget my love,
and yet I can't.

Love's crept into my heart,
and filled me with pangs of want.
Futilely, I try to erase love,
from my life's flowing font.

"You'll get over it",
that's what they say.
"Your heart will learn,
to live for another some day."

Till then, what do I do with a darkened life,
that goes senselessly on.
No love remains in my heart, but yours,
though you... you're gone.
