Dear Beloved

Dear beloved,

You were the epitome of my life,

Your beautiful eyes,

Coruscating hazel lights.


Every time you were near,

I would go florid;

To my heart you were dear,

Why did you leave me downhearted?


The day we met,

The crowd was bustling;

And you made a bet,

Among all the hustling.


I was at the top of blithe,

When you asked for a date;

But I was in writhe,

Since you were running late.


Fast-forward, a few years now,

The love we had, boundless to bow;

We met again, I don't know-how,

But I had to run away, darling ciao.


You followed me

In that brisk walk of yours;

But so did she,

So I hid behind closed doors.


It's empirical, how I feel;

After all these years,

I don't seem to heal,

Coming alive are all my fears.


My actions were ethical,

But you were opposed;

It was aestival,

Like back when you left me disposed.


Now I may seem obsolete,

With no love to give;

No matter how much you treat me sweet,

Leave me, my life is mine to live.


As I turn around,

These tears are torrential;

Never to be found,

Keep this confidential.
