Bygone To Love
Flashbacks to the past,
I ought to have known
it would never last.
Engulfed by love flame
that surrounded my heart's frame,
I was blind to see you
slowly slip away.
All promises imbibed,
with no questions asked;
I responded with trust,
without a doubt.
And then I saw love
suddenly skip my hand.
Watching you depart,
tearing my feelings apart,
I felt the rush of the wind
sweeping all memories from me;
I knew, for sure,
I was trapped.
As befits a parting,
with interludes of silence,
I soliloquized with regret:
"I would have hearkened
to the voice that gently
whispered to me" - "Beware!"
It's over now,
I'm no longer lovesick.
My hope is gone, and
never to return.
And dreams of life
now lay scattered before my eyes...
"It's bygone to love".
