I've done it yet again

My first real love a maiden lass
Of leafy forest and cool green grass
Tall of stature strong of heart
Yet from my attentions she did start
Her mother's teaching and stories wild
Did make her paranoid of child
A year in time and one half more
Our love together did sing and soar
But time does pass and life goes on
And with mother's barrier set sore upon
I left my love of glade and tree
Rationalized to the n'th degree
I left and went upon my way
But eventually there came a day
When fate opened by eyes to see
The pain that my need had caused to be
So I set my being upon a quest
And like a sirocco from the west
I returned to her my maiden fair
Of leafy grove and mountain air
And what I found I could have died
My life's love's heart had petrified
The time worn words fell on deaf ear
Her slammed door pierced me like a spear
Stumbling I turned back to the west
Though long ago, I recall my quest
I find I can mourn for love that's lost
For freedom won at such a cost
Anything worth having is worth fighting for
Heed all her words and actions more
Realize when the feeling is all one sided
The relationship is sore divided
Make it work through strife made stronger
Or let it pass, don't drag it longer
For that is what causes the greatest pain

I know, I've done it yet again.
