Dreams suggestive of an amoretto
Alamorted poet found her
Among masqueraders
The passionate pleas of serenaders
Unable to compete the poet is lost.
Her words the first night made no sense
Cerebral epiphanies of her being perfect
Poems with hearstrings I composed
Only to see the impact of itself being disposed
Oblivious victim to her loveless cruelty.
Images of before with a new clarity
Heart breaking they enhance the occurances
Remember how she assured your fears
Watching the crying without wiping any tears
Why was I not good enough?
I reconjure all the pet names I\'ve called you
Yet I can recall you only calling me by one
Only matter of it was it translated to bad luck
The painful discovery had my sanity run amok
Looked you into your eyes and told confessions
Unknowingly you looked deep into mine
And kept all your secrets alive
By the continuing thread of your lies
Later confirmed I was one of many romansick ties
Standing here numb from verification.....
It hurts but all truth be told
Seeking her warmth left me cold
I was her perfect right now
But never good enough for a vow
Used to be a wordsmith but fear I forgot how
To practice compathy seems listless now.
