shades of red (Completed)

5. love rust

second chances don't work at all,

I could fix him, I said,

he slowly built a concrete wall,

it was worse, I admit,

for the first weeks we shared,

it was just joy and delight,

but I smelled secret affairs,

it turns out, I was right,

you're the country I'd die for,

I became a patriot,

but you kiss me then discard,

like a butt of cigarette,

you made a fool out of me,

now they call me idiot,

here I watch you leave,

as fast as your corvette,

if you had that Midas touch,

then all along, I loved a liar,

all true gold never rust,

unless I was a fleeting desire,

I truly had you in my heart,

while I was only your fantasies,

the romance we embarked,

perhaps I shall depart from this.
