Love's Ponzi Scheme
Love’s Ponzi Scheme
I cut it as I told the world of love
carved deep into the bark for all to see
two hearts conjoined with arrowed I love you
the tree roots failed- it’s gone - and so is she
for love could not constrain her roving soul
nor I fulfill her never ending needs
the shadows of that tree are ever gone
and yet in shadowed pain my heart still bleeds
for I was promised love with all its ties
committed to it heart and soul and mind
for her it was a Ponzi scheme of lies
fulfillment of the adage “love is blind”
and yet I still believe her love was true
for I still hear her whisp’ring “I love you”
