My love

Being separated by years
Being severed by the axe of distance
You might think
I have put you out of my mind
But I have not

Since the day when
You left me on the pavement
Gorging myself on 2 packets of biscuits
In front of 
A forgotten-things-quickly-to-get shop 
Enlightened by the evening's calmness
Run by an Indian mate
I have been wandering
In puddles of rainy tears
I have endured the semesters of hardship
I have gone through
Hatred...Emptiness
Despair...solitude...
Overeaten hunger...
The transformation of my personality
But who the hell has not?

Who am I to you now?
I bear a grudge
Against the Uni intellectual bunch 
Just in case
You thought otherwise

I hacked a human contact off my life
Keeping in scarce touch
With the one once loved 
I have met a few men 
Without reciprocating my or their love
Until I opened the door
Of a strange cold house
And was overwhelmed 
By the warmth of a foreign scarf
Looming round the neck
Ready to wolf me down for a snack

Embraced in bed
My nose could smell the scent
Of a soon-to-be lost babe
Not knowing yet
I lavishly gave out my heart on a plate
Cut out by surgeon's faith
In our candid, uncanny bind 
Which soon was to be found
Among the spires of the king Charles
What a fanciful fairy-tale
Scattered by a dog's waggly tail
