Analysis of Where Did Our Love go?



Where did our love go?

Were we blind and fooled,

Never thought you act like this,

Not caring for me no more,

I'm telling you now instead of later,

In my heart I still care for you,

Even if you told me lies,

I knew my love will reach you,

Feeling like a broken person,

Wearing a broken smile,

I tried to get you back,

You turned away,

So I'm wondering if you,

Actually loved me from the start,

Maybe I was a used for fun,

You left me with a broken heart,

Because you didn't think I wasn't the one.

Ishmael Balfour

I started to read poems when I was 10 years old and was liking writing poems each day. Years later my mom was happy and glad I was writing small books and poems but sadly I lost her when I was only 15 years old and Remember's Day was the day she passed. Since then it has been two years and I wanted to make a poem group on facebook so I did. Couple months went by and my school started a poem group too so I joined. Friends and teachers told me I made amazing poems couple of my friend said they cried and so did some of teachers too. I kept on writing poems and get 14 followers in my poem group but I wanted more. Now I'm here posting my poems to the world all because of friends, family and teachers for being there for me. Thank you all :) more…
