Tots of Thought

I wish I had ended it all long before it started Because people told me from the outset that I was going to be broken-hearted. I never believed the magical bubbles of our love was ever going to burst So, whatever it was I did for her, I made sure I did my very best. I kept the promise of her love; regardless of the cost Yet she never returned the favour; she left me lonely and lost. I was the happiest of our species when it all began But now, quite unbelievably, I am a severely broken man. Broken in many parts, dazed with desire and rendered emotionally weak, Stumbling upon the mental blocks of nostalgia and practically unable to speak. I thought she was into me as much as I was into her So, when my heart began to beat for her I didn’t even care. Our relationship was a few dates old when I fell And realizing my vulnerability, she played along pretty well. I thought her a Seraphim whom for my sake was earthly born But to her, I was...

Right from the very start You stole my simple heart. Alas, I handed it to you on a silver platter But that was all in my mind Face to face with you, I struggled to find The most suitable words to broach the matter. So, I kept it all in. I sought occasions to find the strength As our friendship traveled its length It wasn’t everything I wanted But I didn’t want to lose all that we’ve invested. So, I kept it all in. Finally,  F earing the fatal failures of my fantastic fairytales, I forced them to fizzle out and fed you a fabulous façade. I kept it all in. Fast forward now, here I am, fattened with feelings. For You
