It happens too suddenly,
this descent
this tragic love affair.
Give me a moment of thought
and my world becomes
a living albatross around me,
a constant conscious rush
of anxiety, misfortune, lost zeal.
~
I was thinking about you in the morning,
pleasantry and smiles,
thought about a walk in the rain
pleasantry and smiles
when I suddenly came to terms
with a memory,
nothing more.
~
I wanted to cry but I couldn’t,
sitting in a cafe listening to
‘After The Gold Rush’
and coming to terms
with the quiet solace
that every love song
played in my head.
~
It was then I could feel it
coming on with ruthless
abandon,
couldn’t swim away,
didn’t want to
walk away,
yet the world around me
wouldn’t notice
anyway.
