Sadness At The Coffee Shop

We sat on dusty chairs in the coffee shop Surrounded by billowing smoke from the couple beside us For a split second she had that glint in her eye The same one that made me surrender to her love years ago She quickly noticed my gaze and bought back the monstrous glare The beauty in her was still there but no longer for my viewing pleasure My heart sank, again I foolishly allowed it to explore the possibility that we could be saved We couldn’t and it was apparent now She hates me and I still don’t know why I remember gleefully playing with her flowing red hair While she took obvious pleasure from reading her favourite book We picnicked on that old blanket for hours We would watch children play We let our minds run wild imagining how our own children would play someday But it never came for us Her hatred is all that greets me whenever we meet these days For the dividing of two lives that were once only one The splitting of our souls I don’t know how mine will ever be repaired I want to tell her sorry but I still don’t know what for Saddened by empty promises she made me I only realise now her words formed a web of lies I comfort my lonely heart We never had friends only each other Now I sit here alone Angrily still loving her
