Now And Then

How can I possibly Erase my past? When loving you, I have not stopped And still your picture Hangs in the wall Of my now tormented mind While keeping my past alive! A true love never cast And neither us was at fault Of that final fall But destiny itself, All the blame holds! How much I would love To have you back! Sadly, a fact is fact And there is nothing I can do To happily reverse the present When once things have changed, They can't be turned back To its original forms! Now you have turned From a passionate lover Into a permanent muse, Behind most of my poems With a question lingering Still unanswered: Is it love or obsession What I really feel for you? Now, here I am, Trying to reconcile My mind and heart While fully aware That our relation Was never meant to last! You freely went your way And sadly I went mine But I am still feeling The uncontrollable emotions Of yesterday's volcanic eruptions! (c) All rights reserved-2014 New York City
