An Affair that Never made us Soulmates
Free verse poem
We had our moments,
caught in the heat,
two bodies colliding,
each touch a thrill,
but never meant to last.
I didn’t want more—
just a taste of wild,
a fleeting attention
that made me feel alive.
Now, I sit in silence,
haunted by the guilt,
each thought a reminder
of the love I’ve hurt.
You saw forever in my eyes,
but I was just a moment,
a spark, not a flame.
I wish you could see
that you’re not in love with me—
not the real me.
I hope you find
someone who makes you whole
while I piece together
the fragments of my heart,
learning that pleasure
isn’t worth the price
of love lost.
