Lies – A Short Poem

Of course, she said

Always, she said

I love you, she said

Tweety Bird

I used to have a tweety bird

That used to sing for me

She brought messages and news

And made me be me

But it became too much

So withdrew did she

Moved away from my presence

Towards being free

I let her go

Not able to hold her

Though desperate to keep her

To feel her, to hold her

But love her did I

And do I still

And always will I be there

By her window sill

Till one day it opens

And once again am I let in

To be her companion

Her trusted, Her friend

If you love something they say

Then let it go free

If it is meant to work out

Will it come back to thee

I love her whole hearted

Cant live without her

I’ll die that day

That day that I doubt her

No option but to wait

What else is there then

Nowhere else will I find

Such a close kinsmen

She knew me inside out

She knew me most deepest

She knew my most crazy

Most deplorable secrets

Nothing without her

And yet thats all I am

I am, Who I am

I am barely a man

No ending to this word

No beginning without her

She knows, or she does not

What I am…

That is all…
