The love that never returned
Smoke and mirrors no longer clear

It’s hard to believe...
what I refused to see,
If I could; honestly ...
I would
remain in that place
just you and just me
See, In the beginning
I had no idea
that we would be
...so amazingly
Close .
thoughts swirling around.
”crazy” just say
“It isn’t so !”
I know it would never be
Love.
yet and still,
I insist... and I trust
...and we begin this affair.
Made from lust; woven in love.
yes, I dare call it “love.”
Even though I loved who
You were...
In the midst of the smoke, once more...
I loved all of what I thought we were.
Near and dear , still here
In my heart.
I look back on how things are now.
On this rainy cold Valentines day.
The weather...
a reflection, of what my heart wants to say.
My heart cold like the droplets of the rain
like the tears, I wanna cry.
Because I know that the truth is my love for you
will never die.
Unfortunately, you could never be mine.
For me hope lives a mile pass the most beautiful lie.
So of course, I give in ...
And I hit send.
I get a text back
find myself smiling again.
Then i think to myself...
“Here I go again”
this time, however, was much different.
It killed me to realize youre living.
Like an execution, I’ll end it .....here.
About the Creator
Errol McNeill
I may be just a foolish dreamer
But I don't care
'Cause I know my happiness is waiting out there somewhere
I'm searching for that silver lining
Horizons that I've never seen
I'd like to take just a moment and dream my dream
