Wasted Moments Poem by Maia Padua

I looked back and ponder on the time we first met,
there’s no flashing bulb,
No flickering lights,
no strange feelings,
nothing

You cared, you loved, have done the best,
you do everything just like the rest,
never cared those silly words,
those treatments so empty and cold

You promise me everything…I said nothing,
You’ve done so many sacrifices,
I didn’t make promises.

Until the day, you turned and went away,
Leaving me quite uneasy,
Realizing that something slowly creeping,
a feeling that my heart been searching.

Then, there’s the flashing bulb
The flickering lights
The strange feelings

But you’re gone, leaving me behind
sitting, mind's wandering
Recalling, pondering, remembering those
WASTED MOMENTS
