he instantly felt the pain
the moment his lover
went away.
he tried to understand
to find where the truth oscillated
and when the lie did stick
nothing came to mind.
the love was divine
it made his heart shine
sadness, itself, obliterated.
But some things changed
the kisses echoed as heavy bricks
the “I love you’s “ sounded like a trick
he blamed his jealousy
insecurities creating follies.
submerged by melancholy
he shed tears of honesty
at the behest of a mercenary.
He thought he could handle it
withstand the heat
but often love burns too bright
and typically out of sight
He falters, gasping for air
begging for a man
that was never there.
