Love Poem: As Before

As Before

When love starts slipping away, pretending becomes a chore. And dreams are shrouded in gray; for fantasies are no more. Hope disappeared from your heart the instant he slammed that door. And as your world fell apart; trickling tears began to pour. Like an angel up above, he spoke of forevermore. And yet, abandoning love, he left you pacing the floor. Tears cannot be held at bay; like the waves that wash ashore. And although you hoped he'd stay; you're not as sure as before.
