Separate Ways Poem by Denny Moonde

Sometimes it's difficult to understand the ways of life
Worse still words of wisdom,
That to take for granted the love we have,
The laugh we share, would be disastrous to the happiness
And joy we encompass.
Often times we hurt the people who give us love:
We justify it by defending ourselves.
Safeguarding our pride: giving away
Trust and enslaving our emotions.
To hold back and reflect becomes a waste of time
As the tide hastens we fall overboard:
And let love go like water under a bridge
We hold still refusing to apologize.
At a flip of a dime we chose to go separate ways
Never for our once loving eyes to interlock in blissful moments
Of everlasting nothingness.
Gone are the true love cries we carried,
Birthdays shared, though
Penniless then just being together on such occasions justified our
Reasoning for happiness.
We were such a carefree couple we moved to
And fro the centre of town full of laughter,
Occasional quarrels.
We were a love unmatched!
A virtue of great taste.
Who would have imagined that we'd not exchange vows?
I couldn't bare to share you with the world least id been torn with
Untold despair.
I gladly took all the blame you had
For my love far outweighed your shortcomings.
The flame of my desire still remains strong
Yet going separate ways
Was the best remedy to the love we shared?
