Now and Then

It just stopped being

And in that moment it all cut out

No more did your light shine for me

Or could your jests spark electricity

I just loved you, then did not.

 

I did not feel the loss

Nor question my spontaneity

The jump to the opposite did not jolt me

Or even doubt wash over me

You were once ahead, now behind.

 

I guess I should have told you

The least give reason as to why

Your innocence to my sudden parting

Was my guilt for even starting

What I did, was finally done.
