When North Goes South

I want to run away from the stares when our friends don’t see you there Instead I walk confidently like I don’t care But inside I feel like life’s unfair Why did I believe you when you said we’d always be a pair I tried I begged and pleaded Yet you pulled away said I wasn’t what you needed So down a different path we both retreated The outcome not my choice it couldn’t be debated All those years together feel like they’ve been wasted I guess for you somehow love faded Still a broken heart can do more than weep It can rise up and walk down a different street It can savour life without you there are new people to meet I have places to go and meals to eat There are others who will quicken my heart beat I choose a life that's sweet No girl it’s not easy being through I can’t ever forget you If only you had meant it when you said “I do” Now my horizon is empty I've lost my perfect view You were the North Star that I was guided too All those moments felt like they were far to few Was it all just an illusion did I ever really know you It seems in this case True North wasn't true to the south off you flew. Fictional account inspired by Bernadette Mullick’s poem titled BTS Dedication.
