I learnt much from you, which only began when you left me.

The trails and tribulations of 1oving did nothing for you regrettably.

You took so much from me, which was my fault; I was too blind to see.

Everything that I possessed did not really mean that much too me.

The only thing that I wanted to keep was my emotionally sanity.

But you took that too, leaving me shallow and empty.

With only myself to blame, with only myself to care for.

I wanted to walk with you in open fields, to be as one forever.

I needed your companionship, throughout the days and years to follow.

But some things I have found are not quite as they seem.

To find the signs and the answers is not an easy thing to do.

To ask those questions but I wait endlessly in vain.                                    

Promises broken trust taken away, from a dream I thought would never die.

When I thought that I had found love, when I drank from your pool.              

You had the solutions to all of my demons, the powers in your possession.

So cruel can love be, so true can one be a fool for another’s love.

Drawn into your heart like a moth to a flame, emotions burnt beyond recognition.

Our history reads like a dark tale of medieval doom, with no hope of revolt.
