Love-ship (Her story)

 

I once thought I loved you –

That you were the only one for me –

But I guess I was only

Lying to myself.

But wasn’t there

A connection between us?

Didn’t you once feel

The same about me?

I thought you had.

But I guess, once again,

I was wrong.

 

“I just woke up one morning

And realised that she’s the one”.

 

Your words had cut through me

Like a sharp carving-knife,

Slicing my heart into tiny slivers.

It was that day when I decided

That I would have nothing more to do with you.

 

I had been so completely

In love with you

And you just stood by,

Watching me fall,

Not intending to catch me.

And when I finally hit the ground,

I was cut and bruised

By the mattress of lies, deceit and false hope

You had place beneath me.

 

Now here I lie,

Unwillingly thinking of you.

Why have you forced your way

Into my mind?

I said I want no more to do with you –

You are dead to me!

I want you out!

Just leave me alone!

You have caused me enough pain.

But no more,

Because you are just a ghost –  

You can’t hurt me anymore.
