FALLING OUT OF LOVE

Dreams of love eternal
Recorded in a journal.
Loved you from first glance
Deeper after our first dance.
Tumbled head over heals at first
From drought passion and thirst.
Thought I would always love you
Forever happy, never blue,
Yet here I am feelings not the same.
There ought to be thunder and rain.
The thrill is gone
Did not take long.
Love slipping, slipping away
Loving you a little less each day.

No one’s to blame just the way it goes
Possible prevention I suppose.
Yet could we have gone a different a route?
Unfortunately we were are not that astute.
Predicting future outcome
Dancing to a different drum.
Along the way wiped out once or twice
Now in the end I pay the price.
Lied to myself, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps?
Still now I will not collapse.

I’m cool toward you to day
Fallen like a failed soufflé.
Loving feelings turn dour and fade
Cool glass of unsweetened lemonade.
Where did the warm feelings go?
Really I don’t know.
Your voice no longer my heart melts
Would last forever I felt.
When did that cease?
That time in Greece?
Love slipping away
By the hour, by the day.
Fading into the mist
Time to cross you off my list.

Falling in, climbing out
Surviving alone no doubt.
Instead of hurting to the bone,
Petrified to be alone.
Upright, erect standing tall
Like Goliath waiting for the call.
Crash and burn
Is how we learn.
Life too I suppose
But who really knows.
Tis sad but true
I say good-bye to you.
Stupid in love no more
Lock and close that door.

Hi, smallworlds,
There is a mixture of strength and sadness in this write. Going from Tumbled head over heals at first From drought passion and thirst... to Crash and burn Is how we learn... leaves me with sadness, an appreciation of slow-cooking, and a greater awareness of how important timing, temperature and ingredients are. Thanks for sharing.
