Life After Love

The warmth of his hand had hit my heart,
Wrapped up in his arms I fell apart.
Slipping from my eyes, my tears hit his shoulders,
And all of a sudden the world got colder.

The night was dark, the clouds had gone wild,
But he rocked me; like he was my mother, I his child.
His arms held me tighter with each one of my sobs,
He put the key in my heart, and I, turned the knob.

The moon was full, the moon was white,
He sat with me, and took up the light.
An angel from above, a demon from hell?
Judging from his smile, from heaven he fell.

Whispering in my ear, I remember his voice,
So alluring, so comforting, giving in was my only choice.
Hand in hand, step by step, we remained in queue
A breathtaking couple like the sunrise’s hue.

Trusted him with both secrets and lies,
Hoping he’d be there each time I cried.
But was I to know a day would come,
When he would leave my heart to just go numb?

My heart beat soared,
As the rain poured, the thunder roared.
My ears didn’t want to listen, my brain didn’t want to think;
My heart didn’t want to feel, my eyes went pink.
From pink to red, to simply shut,
I thought tomorrow would be better, like some nut.

Minute after minute, day after day,
I hate him was all I could say.
Was it hate for him, or hate for me?
Was it hate that there was no longer a we?

Never knowing why, never knowing how,
Confused and bitter I remain now.
Who do I trust and why would I trust another?
So he too can leave my heart smothered?

A “we don’t belong together” was all I needed,
But saying that was all he heeded.
I see him and my words go stray,
I see him and my presence goes away.
One kiss on the lips, one look in his eyes,
One touch of his hand, one reason for the lies.
