Debris:A Collection Of Poems

Fated

Eyes that showed me a glimpse of paradise
Hands that cupped my breast in awe
My waist beads and anklets were your favourite
It made you love my nakedness you said

Arms that made me feel at home
Lips that kissed my soul
The fights leading to our demise
I wish I had apolgised and made things right. Not.

Speech that crippled me in the knees
Touch that set my skin ablaze
Song that brought me back to you time and time again
I refuse to believe we didn't last the test of time

I remember how your palms felt on my face
Dreams of the picnics we had at the beach still plague my mind
Our moments together are always replaying on my sight
Deja vus of sweet periods that ended in heavy hot tears

Like my mother always said what's meant to be will be
Maybe this is how it was supposed to end
Like strangers on the first day of school all over again
Casting longing glances at one another

After so many 'I love yous'
Dinner whilst the sunset on the hill top
You were always a hopeless romantic
Wooing my pants off was quite easy

Now we sit in the same room
Our eyes refusing to meet
The beating thump-thumps of our hearts preventing us from working this out
We are engulfed in our perfume of arrogance and pride

We were destined to fail from the start
My instincts never lie, we were only beginning to end
Our shared laughs were just a camouflage, sullen faces yet to appear
Distinct pain scrambling to the surface

My love, we were a beautiful disaster.
