Farewell to Love

Hazily, I walk by the river

With my sole companion,

A heart heavy,

As memories of him, whom

I adored with innocent love,

Reminds me of love’s deceit.

The magic in his smile

Was heaven’s magic to me.

But love’s blind

And blind was I,

A girl innocent of the world,

In loving a man, who

Ignorant of true love,

Broke my heart’s loyalty to love.

Like shattered glass it lay

                  As he strode over it.

My world of fantasy was gone.

Realized I what life was,

Tears glistened my eyes,

And I hated ‘love’

So, hazily I walk

With a heavy heart.

Chasing my joy,

Searching for true love,

The sun sinks slowly,

The flowers seem dubious,

As I struggle to placate my heart.

But the haze continues,

And continues…
