My Miss Ripley & Other Poems

Second Time Around

We were so happy at the start.
As if we will never be apart.
You are my first love.
The man that I prayed from above.

It was a simple love story.
That sometimes we got ourselves saying sorry.
A bitter-sweet moment of us.
For a short time we have passed.

As time goes by and by.
You became cold and started to lie.
I've tried to act as if I wasn't aware.
Thinking that this can still be cured.

Communications stops.
Conversations begins to be dull and whatnot.
You got insecure with your friends job descriptions.
But I'm still here supporting your ambitions.

You got your dream job.
I was so happy for you because that what you love.
You started to forget me.
Because you're too preoccupied on getting a big salary.

I understand.
As a matter fact, I cheered you with a band.
I made myself busy as well.
Became a monster of my work as hell.

I sent you message one day.
Trying to catching things up from the first day.
Yet I received a response from you.
Said that we need to talk and go through.

I spent my day thinking.
Are you going to reap my heart and breaking?
And the day that we've agreed came.
The day that I wanted to forget thy name.

Why did you court me for the second time?
Did I make mistake this time?
Are you still in love with the girl?
The reason why you broke me and torn?

Then I suddenly remember.
Everytime we talk and linger.
You keep comparing me to her.
As if I you only let me coz you reminds me of her.

I wasn't able to notice it.
As I was busy capturing your stories and myth.
This is the second time I got my wounded heart.
From the same man I loved from the start.
