She had called but two days ago
Before the season changed and summer did go
With it the warmest days my skin could know
The freshest airs the wind would blow.

It was then, I knew it true
Beyond this season was worse to ensue
Farewell to the warmest days we both knew.
When she called, I already knew.

Cup of joe while waiting for nothing
But then found myself staring at something
Splendid curves, magnets to my eyes
Attraction of opposites, and coffee dies.

She moved just slow enough to trance
Hypnotic as a gypsy's dance
Her eyes found mine, I soared in thought
Yet, remained so still, for I was caught.

A better heaven there wasn't then
Nor, he knew, to find it after
For thoughts were lost to smiles and laughter
When Love had found its niche again.

So stealthy did events unfold-
Each moment kisses she endowed
To whom such gifts ungrasped allowed;
She kept him joyed in this mode.

Her charms were more than mystic spells...
His heart did not a bit detect
The poisoned blood - she did infect
And toxic love induced his cells.

The poison ran with time its course
And symptoms many he endured-
None worse than when she then allured-
Her absence did his death endorse.

But men with kisses do give in
Their hopeless hearts to attain
A chance of heaven despite the pain-
Thus, Love will find its niche again.

Logic, who from his seat atop my mind,
Whispered in my ear, and so a thought unwind
And I saw a lonely me, without a certain God.
Compelled, I asked Logic, Does this make me odd?

He had not an answer, to him this matters not,
Nor comfort for that matter, then angst instead it brought
I asked again but louder, yet greater was the void.
I'm alone in this world, uncertain and deployed.

I cursed Logic to hell, his gift of reason more
For tearing me from bliss, what I believed before.
"The empty truth is life, void of point indeed"
Whispered in my ear, these words I heed, I heed!

She texted me and I melted.
Where was time? I couldn't tell.
Every single word, I felt it;
I'm obvious, she knows me too well

Enough to know I wouldn't mind
Even after all the things I said
Cause it's love that has me blind
Even after all the things she did

There's so much I want say
That a text just can't relay..
Can the world just end me now
This stupid torture I can't allow!

It's her trap like when before
I fell for it as would a fool
The pity in my heart, no more
I'm tired of being her tool

I sit so still in this old room
Waiting alone as quiet looms,
And then a scent alerts my mind
A smell familiar but undefined.
And I think of her and life fades
I see her coming and yet afraid
She wants to tell me something new
By how she picked her words, I knew
I'd never feel the same again
A new chapter in my life begins.
Then the moment fades to quiet
And I'm yet still, my mind's a riot
Trying to find that nostalgic scent
That love and timely joy it lent
Where this old room was heaven sent
And words of love were said and meant.

I lied in bed and hit send
While she waited at the beach
The lesson that I wanted to teach
Through an email to my girlfriend

A coward's way to break a heart
Revenge provides the best of fuels
And in this way broke all my rules
And into depression I did depart

There is no closure for our souls
Perhaps I'll fall into remorse
While she into another's recourse
Or just maybe not, no one knows
