Never Loved

She denied Love like an Enemy When she said she never loved And I never felt so hated as I did then! It was true, she said she never had – In all our Years, she never had And never have I felt so bad, as then. It all felt true, the hugs, the songs – I guess she meant to break me, And she did. But what is broken mends itself And when it comes to know – Yes, when I came to know, the hate The hate was not my fault I found, I’d other seed to sow On better ground, on hallowed ground And O! the sound, the sound Of broken laughter That proceeds from tears Is what the sempiternal and catharted mess I am, Doth say. I’ve come to be! And we, And we, And we, Shall never meet again! So be it, then.
