Love Rebounded Part 1
They met in the playground
Him eleven, her ten
Electric times full of youthful optimism
Young flesh collides
A voyage of naivety
And true love
Five years on, teens in trouble
Granted taken by both
Infidelities and lies
He bangs a girl
She revenge screws his friend
And their ultimate demise
Tick tock, fast forward
Their paths cross
On a dance floor
Heated passions eclipse sensibilities
Familiar flesh rediscovered
Irresponsibly...
Swim tiny sperms
Find the egg
Nine months zip by
They do what's best
A family of sorts
Skeletons rattle their closet
Animosity eating at bone
Arguments escalate
Until one day...
SNAP!
She's misunderstood and unappreciated
He can't forget
'No more, go' she says
‘Fine! If that’s what you want’
Tainted love, luster lost
Bags packed, door slammed
Gone
The cosmos was wrong
He hides and cries
Takes time to heal
Slowly grows
Two forward, one back
Moves on
Albeit reluctantly
Life starts to show merit
His smile grows with each conquered day
A spark of new life
Liberated from love
She flies high and free
For a while is fine
Four months on she finds a new man
Replacement daddy
He moves in
Then, when least expected
She sees her ex walking down the street
With a cute blond
Her heart ticks, trips and she feels violently
Sick
BA BOOM! BA BOOM!
Her heart wants him
Her head needs testing
She texts
'I still love you babes, can we link?'
His head spins
Needs strength to resist
But is powerless
Two become one
