A cunning Way to Decsend (written 2004)

 

You looked at me with hatred,

Where the love used to lie.

I awaited the over due ending,

And began to cry.

 

As the tears rolled away,

The passion stayed.

I tried to continue,

But I had been betrayed.

 

My little pink heart broken,

As the edges turned black.

I looked at you walking,

You never looked back.

 

Now confronted with living,

Trying to see straight.

As the love crept away,

An was replaced with hate.

 

It’s still better to have loved and lost,

Time will heal.

It’s been five years,

And it hurts still.

 

The ground still holds me up,

My feet still rest on solidity,

My face still smiles a greeting,

And my body still feel humidity.

 

Some people touch the surface,

Others dig deep,

But nothing special has been here,

Not the one I seek.

 

I m going round in circles,

At times I do feel happy,

But I only have to sit and think,

And the past comes flooding back to me.

 

We were lovers then buddies,

Then friends, almost family!

Now I don’t get phone calls,

And you want nothing to do with me.

 

The way you’ve filtered this,

It’s a clever thing you’ve done,

What a cunning way to descend,

Once your lover, now a no one!
