Poem Title:
Poem
They both know what they want Yet cannot let go of what they have Stolen kisses and coffee in a car Before they part their separate ways This is how the lovers would meet, cosy café, dark alley or street His love for her died long away Her fairy-tale marriage, just a great social media show What will her besties say if they should know? Will the boys hate him the older they grow? Obsessed with her selfies she posts every day He searches for love in a different way Someday will come when her golden crown, Sandcastles and all will come tumbling down SHE knows about his affair and fling Even tried saving it with marriage counselling The thought of it SHE shunts with might HER name keeps on coming up when they argue and fight He rushes off on a romantic date Always on time, not one minute late Wondering if he is with HER, as SHE lays down his plate Another excuse for again being late His time is up, he has to leave She begs him to stay…five more minutes…please, please, please His phone keeps ringing, it’s her on the line Where are you now? Is everything fine? He rushes back home to his wife to go dine Like a thief in the night to his side SHE would creep Stealing his phone while he is fast asleep Scanning his messages, every phone call The sly little fox has deleted them all! He yearns for HER but cannot call He’s being watched like the mirror on the wall He kills HER call, before SHE can see He texts HER back, sorry, can’t take your call, SHE is here beside me! Wondering smilingly, will he ever be mine? SHE murmurs wickedly, No! Never! he’s mine, you’ll always be the one second in line Written by: Farah Diba Pastor
