Fading

For this, my darling, I swear you're to blame, Gave you a last chance and you didn't even notice, I turn my back on the magic, already started to fade, I take back all the kisses, the embraces come back and Warm my lonely arms. Swallow all my words and Choke up yours, brush off every touch then soon Forget your voice. Couldn't care how you style your hair, Whether you choke on the spray, if someone else Curls up with you and pulls it all out of place. I'll walk the journey alone, pass by your house, sun Piercing me as it leaps from your window, makes me Frown. For all the weeks and months you've made Excuses I think I can manage by myself, can do a Better job than you. Could do it without cutting people Out of my life. Should I see you in the street then I know what to do, Stroll right on by, too busy to speak to you, no room to Fit you in. Won't reply if you say hello, just wander home, my Red glazed eyes proof I'm over you. Hadn't time in your life for me yesterday, Just gave me more time to run away.

Breaks my heart to read of your pain. This person is simply not good enough for you my dear. There is no doubt about that. Doesn't make it any easier though. You are in my heart. Excellent poetry as always. Love, Shar
