Beware the Ides
As I watched our mutual world, I cried.
Bruised and buried deep inside,
this saddened heart of mine had died.
Realistically, was it your choice to decide?
the time when happiness would be denied.
Whilst I enjoyed the emerging ride,
you had plunged down the other side.
You told me once you were satisfied,
but now open-mouthed I’ve realised,
how much you’d fed me barefaced lies.
Although struggling in my attempts, I tried,
to dam the flood and hold back the tide,
but you had set togetherness aside.
Inevitably, and tearfully, I sighed.
As I watched our mutual world, I cried.
