The question never was whether I loved you
Or whether I loved you enough
I love you more than the sunrise
Without you my future looks rough
Not that it was smooth with you
It was never plain sailing
But I was happy to take on the roughest seas
Unfortunately we just kept failing
I just got tired of the sadness
I got fed up of the pain
The tears they just kept coming
Metaphorically rivalling British rain
Love is our big lesson
I know we tried our best
But it wasn’t about loving each other
Self love was the test
And that’s why I bowed out
Second time round
I guess this isn’t my lifetime
I’m unsure what my purpose is
If love isn’t in the pipeline

He stared at the red hand of his wife
Why are you bleeding?
She looked at his hand holding the knife
I’m sorry, I just have this feeling
They both stared immovable
For her being so naive, he started to shout
Wiping tears with her sleeve, she bowed out
No words can be heard by the deaf. -
Marooned on a desert island
Despairing how she got here
Thankfully she’s not alone
At her side her good friend Fear
Fear looks on with kind eyes
Soothing the relentless shadow
Feeding island coconuts
Making soup out of her bone marrow
The soup tastes so good to the ever delirious
They reminisce of times gone past
They hug until the moon does rise
Then Fear decides she wants to dance
In her frenzy she kills the fire
And accidentally spills the fresh water
It’s ok, it’s not your fault
She tries not to scold her
But Fear is in her element
A whirling dervish in the moon light
Helplessly a surrender takes place
With a gentle fade, Fear wins the night -
How much time has passed
She doesn’t know
She’s been lifelessly in limbo
The clock keeps ticking
As for her heart
She thinks it stopped a while ago
Her hands are cold
Though the sun shines strong
The days go on without her
No desire to breathe
There’s something wrong
But fixing it is beyond her
She closes her eyes
But it doesn’t matter
No rest is found, no slumber
Her slow demise
Her delicate flame
Reduced to a mere ember
