A sleepless night as I lie awake
Searching vastly for a reason
Murmur of a distant memory
Incoming yet another season.
A meal shared with a smile
Welcoming touch, it didn’t last
Jealousy kept close but far from denial
Left with nothing but the past
Vulnerabilities, anxiety, pain
Sharing a variety of emotions
Experiences, past lovers, promises made in vain
Little did I know I’d never see her again
Miscalculating an ardent lover
Simultaneously a sociopathic
Materialistic, manipulative
Herself above another
My interest sufficed
Despite no good things to gain
She had me bested
I could no longer be the same
Misty eyes while typing on a blurry screen
Willpower gained to sever the connection
Letting her go in a painful scene
A bittersweet goodbye
One more step in the right direction.

A sleepless night as I lie awake
Searching vastly for a reason
Murmur of a distant memory
Incoming yet another season.
A meal shared with a smile
Welcoming touch, it didn’t last
Jealousy kept close but far from denial
Left with nothing but the past
Vulnerabilities, anxiety, pain
Sharing a variety of emotions
Experiences, past lovers, promises made in vain
Little did I know I’d never see her again
Miscalculating an ardent lover
Simultaneously a sociopathic
Materialistic, manipulative
Herself above another
My interest sufficed
Despite no good things to gain
She had me bested
I could no longer be the same
Misty eyes while typing on a blurry screen
Willpower gained to sever the connection
Letting her go in a painful scene
A bittersweet goodbye
One more step in the right direction.
