I can’t describe the trepidation that I felt <br />The words pouring from your lips were cause for my heart to melt <br />Showering attentions and affections day and night <br />You were seated on the pedestal reserved for Mr Right <br /> <br />“I love you! ” <br />“I love you more! ” <br />Endearments to and fro <br />Pleading for a few more moments, “Do you have to go? ” <br />“I’ll miss you! ” <br />“I’ll miss you more” <br />Tomorrow’s a new day <br />The dawning of another morn will send your love my way <br /> <br />The days and months and years tick by <br />There’s no slowing of the time <br />A lifetime of togetherness <br />Our hearts became entwined <br /> <br />Familiarity breeds contempt, so the saying goes <br />Dishonesty and mistrust were the breeding of our woes <br />Love became our emperors’ clothes throughout the years <br />Hurt and misery became the founder of my tears <br /> <br />“I hate you! ” <br />“I hate you back” <br />Insults to and fro <br />Sneering for a few more moments, “Don’t you have to go? ” <br />“Damn you! ” <br />“Damn you more! ” <br />Tomorrow’s a new day <br />The dawning of another morn will take the hurt away<br /><br />Paula Robinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-short-life-of-love/
