Love That Never Was
My "heart" was wrapped up in him,
In his "beautiful" mystery.
I never quite knew his thoughts,
And I think he liked it that way.
There was always something hiding
Behind those "green" eyes,
Something I desperately wanted to uncover.
His love was all play, and I fell for the game.
He’d play with my "hair",
Letting the long strands flow through his fingers.
Each like a "thread" of gold, he’d say...
He always knew what to say.
His eyes were sparks behind "dark" eyelashes,
And I always wanted them on me.
I had a "fathomless" fascination with him,
One I could never satisfy.
That’s how it goes with your first love.
My heart pounded at the sight of him,
A thousand "birds",
Flapping their wings in my chest.
My heart still pounds like that sometimes,
Leaving me "breathless" in the "silence" of the night,
When I think about how much I once loved him.
