I lost you on a Saturday <br />You came to me with searching eyes <br />But didn’t find me <br />Oceans I cried <br />Wanting you back <br />But where had you gone? <br />Not where I thought <br />You’d fled to the arms of another <br />Cold cruel lies <br />Charades, deceit <br />Games of emotion <br />I had to leave in the end <br />You couldn’t decide <br />Between me and her <br />But I didn’t want you <br />If you couldn’t choose me <br />Love can’t compromise <br />At least not my love <br />So I headed away <br />Now you try to follow <br />What can I do? <br />I can’t be with you <br />Nor without it now seems <br />Doomed to entrapment <br />Freedom is required <br />Freedom from expectation <br />Freedom to love <br />Freedom to welcome you back <br />No freedom without pain <br />Pain bears its own fruit <br />Not sure I can do it<br /><br />Christine Davidson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/saturday-s-loss/
