The Ending of Love
I fell backwards
Seeing all in slow
motion
You standing, you
kissing her
So our love has run
its course
This fact sinks in
with a whisper
As you trail back to
me
Not knowing I've
seen
Your stuff is
waiting on the
pavement when you
get back
All neatly folded
I thought that was
the end of
that
No awkward lies, no
need for
parting words
Just the end.
I'll wipe you out of
my memory
while I stare at the
ceiling, as
midnight consumes
Glowing stars
pointing me back
to the reality of
the unfeeling
I never feel much
anymore
I'm not human you
would say
Truth is
Its easier this way
The iridescent sky
leaks gold
And Angels slumber
in an
eternal life of
bliss
As everyday gets
more difficult
with it
I plan things in my
head
Amazing how much
time you
took up
I twiddle my
fingers, agitated
and restless
Life beckons within,
then a
possibility of
happiness
Surely I should take
this
It was but one kiss,
I know this
Shadows loom with it
This tiny slight of
happiness
As the nights get
darker
I remember how
moonlight
would flicker
as a candle on your
face
Little snippets
start to rise
through the mud
Dirt that I burried
on top of you
I thought that was
the end
But little things
keep getting
through
You hunted for the
Santa Claus
film a week before
Christmas
I didn't feel
festive and fell
asleep through it
Waking up to
Christmas
pudding and eggnog,
that warm cuddly
festive feeling
came back to me
It resides somewhere
still in me
In Paris we sprinted
from a five
star restaurant bill
Wearing silk,
breaking my heels
This night you
captured my
heart
as we ran through
Paris
barefoot in the rain
The hotel room in
Venice had
rats in the cupboard
We didn't want to
leave the bed
So we made picture's
on the
ceiling with lamp
light
Falling asleep to
softly slapping
water,
that night I Knew it
would only
ever be you
It's still you
You skinned a cable
for the
copper,made me a
bracelet
The arthritis in my
wrist was
driving me crazy
You drew me a
Christmas card
every year, even
when you
turned thirty
You were useless at
making me
coffee
We were so care free
,
look at what's
happened to me
These little things
keep
wounding me, but
also make
me happy
If I could take back
that kiss
It still would've
ended as this
You needed more than
I could
give
In my world it
wasn't important
That you
Knew how I loved you
How I needed you
That every morning I
thanked
God for you
You never knew
As I never told you
And now it's too
late to
