Read Poem: TEMPORARY LOVE, by Ralph D. Wagnitz

One more shallow, endless hour, that I’ve been livin’,,
Just the mention of your name, brings chagrin.
I’ve gotta share the thoughts,
that I’ve been thinkin’,
‘Cause each day I realize,..the mess I’m in.

Every new discovery, goes by unnoticed,
All the right words seem so wrong, at least for now.
Why should love be such a pain?
now I wander through the rain,
Can this youthful heart sustain?

Temporary love,.. temporary romance,..
Is it worthwhile to continue hangin’ on?
Temporary love,.. temporary heartache,..
lost in moments just begun,..

Stolen moments linger on, within my memory,
Of this love that fell apart, ‘cause we weren’t strong!
But alas I’m not surprised,
that the love has left your eyes,
It was evil in disguise,..

Temporary love,.. temporary romance,..
Is it worthwhile to continue hangin’ on?
Temporary love,.. temporary heartache,..
lost in moments just begun,..
all those moments just begun,..

Lost in moments,..
