The Dark Side of Love Lennard Quinn

When love goes away, the soul is left so vulnerable and wounded that often darkness takes over. This collection of poems explores the difficult journey of strong emotions one goes through - from heartache, loss, resentment, anger, guilt, and loneliness, to eventually finding clarity, hope and healing. It is a journey that will hopefully lead to the understanding that if we stay authentic, each step through the darkness will bring the heart closer to freedom and empowerment. And that inevitably love will find us again. shadowthe morning light breaks through my windowit reveals your shadow standing still my eyes are barely open but i can see you are trying to leavewill she be ok, you ask yourself he still cares, i tell myselfyou head for the door and stop again darkness creeps inside the cave you take one last look at everything you've possessed too bad you cannot see me dying inside your eyes almost reach me then you walk awayi can see your shadow is still standing there fighting to stay
