A Meaningless Collection

A Summer's Talk

One morning I woke

to the words that you spoke

so softly in my ear

You whispered with a sigh

that you'd always be mine

Oh how you complete me

Never once did I doubt you, dearest

You swore you'd forever be nearest

to my heart, that Summer day

We talked and I shied

from the thought that you lied

Who cares about her anyway?

I grew addicted to your scent

Your sweet taste, your warm touch - it was all meant

to be

Your smile was deceivingly charming

in ways that proved too harming

as I finally lost my place

I had drowned in your eyes

while you fucked another, just like every guy

The tides rushed over my head

Submerged in a wave of complacence

I threw away my patience

and left you like you left me

My body thrashed against the rocky shore

as the foam receded to reveal a door

and out walked my shadow

I stared into her eyes

God knows I've all but cried

and asked her for the courage to find peace.
