We Loved the Same Man

You loved him.....darling I loved him.....sweetheart Like the fading old polish.....he disappeared Like the temporary short dream.....he vanished You loved him.....darling I loved him.....sweetheart Remnants of that heartbeat.....still pumps in our lives Traces of his memory.....is still a carefree beast in our lives You loved him.....darling I loved him.....sweetheart He thatched a hut.....without hearts Then he lit fire on it.....and forever it lit You loved him.....darling I loved him.....sweetheart The blazing pain of deception.....the tingling smears of rejection We loved him more.....he loved us less

Very sensitively written but I pity the poor guy who comes next who will always be number two to a memory. Two damaged people growing in Geometric progression. Good one Njeri. Kind regards, Ian
