Things Fall Apart

Absolute love always be the start, 
But things do fall apart,
Especially matters of the heart,
At times it comes embroidered like art,
Collaborating with melodies from Mozart ,
Hanging at the park, in the dark,
Observing stars, suddenly we lost the spark.
In open light, I see your eyes,
Shining bright, with authentic lies,
Since we lost those butterflies,
Yet we find it hard to say goodbye,
Denying to cut our ties, 
Living in compromise to become one’s standby,
See for me this is a break through,
It’s not really about you,
But whoever knew, our love would be second to a hairdo,
Not to put you on a guilt trip,
I’m just passing, on my way to find peace,
Yet another lesson learned,
At times in love we get burned,
So goodbye my lover, my friend,
No more shall I pretend, 
That I’m your godsend.
See, things do fall apart,
Especially matters of the heart,
We now have to go back to the start,
With the hope that things won’t fall apart.

But yeah, things do fall apart........

Sometimes, like now, when things fall apart, in the breaking, one finds wonderful poetry.
