We knew it wasn’t right. <br />Knew it would be taken away. <br />Two became one that night. <br />Why did we let reality go astray? <br />I have been lied to and insulted. <br />Promised love, then left alone. <br />You have been stabbed and ne’er consulted. <br />Promised forever, then eaten to the bone. <br />Two misfit hearts - fitted. <br />But only for a moment or two, <br />With all chances of ‘us’ ridded. <br />Curse Fate who has blackened our lovers’ red hue. <br />Force myself to move on. <br />Survive the storm and hunker down. <br />Many years will you be long gone, <br />Leavin’ me alone in this one horse town. <br />Your smoke still clinging to my skin, <br />Your kiss slowly disappears from my lips. <br />Your laughter shall ne’er be heard by my kin, <br />Nor your slow sensual caressing upon my hips. <br />But why must you go now? <br />You are more right for me than ever! <br />Though, you hadn’t meant to - You’ve taken a last bow. <br />But you will make it through – you are so clever. <br />You will not fade, but rise to glory. <br />A time shall come I will not grieve, for a new morning <br />Will come, singing with another soul, a happier story…… <br />Yes, go now, and fare thee well, <br />For I shall always love you, my dearest Cory.<br /><br />Conchita Mauer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cory-3/
