I loved you, but now no more

I loved you, but now no more

Few write and some say that Love is Truth and Truth is Love.

I loved you so much, but it was then.

And Love being Truth and Truth being Love,

I gave you the love I owed and now I owe you the Truth.

Then I loved your flirtatious smile and your way of surrender.

Now I see none, and you too have seen me change.

But for fear of hurting me you do not plan to reveal.

And even a harsher truth if you can bear to hear,

All that I loved in you, I now find it in some else; those lips and the eyes.

And I know you find all that you loved in me, but now in someone else.

You no longer have the respect for me, I know that but you would never say.

I am a man, made mistakes; fell so many times and you lifted me up everytime.

But you are a woman too and not a God; I can’t expect that for too long.

Remember those old days, I lied to you many times but you took it to be true.

And now when you speak the truth, I feel you are lying.

If it was eternal love as they write and sing, why it had to fade out,

As we bounce and pounce more and more together on the bed.

Now we stay together, more out of habit than real love.

Let me speak out a few more harsh truth.

Life would be back to normal and I would enjoy my glass of wine.

May be one or two years after your death.

And years beyond that I will struggle to keep you in my mind.

Take my words, dear; all pain heals, no matter how bad it now feels.

You been my girl and don’t take me wrong.

But death is as true as life itself and nothing can last forever.

And so should we not stop in life nor upon someone’s death.

Isn’t this revelation better than being fooled by poets?

Who on high dose of marijuana would compare you to the moon,

And me to the sun and blah blah blah so long he remains high.

If it had to be true, why most poets could not uncover that same love in their wives,

They so often and so much write about.

You are my girl and we loved each other so much.

But let’s now face the Truth and don’t we both love the Truth.

Our love has faded; and we no longer love each other.

The days spent in love, those were the best.

But nothing lasts forever, so also our love had to wane out.
