A dream’s a thing of fancy 

A heart demands the truth

To divine your heart, my dear 

It should not take a sleuth.

 

A heart like mine is open

And ready to receive

An equal in proportion…

Though I’m a bit naive.

 

But you wear a mask, my dear,

I cannot see behind.

Why would you keep things from me?

It’s Fate, for sure—I’d find.

 

I’d find out that I quit, my dear,

And you behind my back

Continued smoking normally

And didn’t tell me jack.

 

Of course I would be mad, you know,

A violation of

The trust that I put into you

A rupture of our love.

 


And on these grounds we’ll never be

Compatible as one.

You live a life sep’rate from this,

And thus our love’s undone.

 

It should not take a genius

To divine why I’m mad.

Still, your leaving’s broken me

I’ve never been this sad

 

A dream’s a thing of fancy, Love.

Just fancy that were true!

I’d dream of unicorns and clouds

And never dream of you.

  1. This reminds me of what my ExHub did to me. “Still your leaving’s broken me…”
    But I like the way you phrase & turn it much better 🙂

  2. Reblogged this on Poison Ice Cream and commented:

    it takes me time to feel removed enough from something I have written to see it perhaps as others see it. I happened across this one today and a newfound appreciation for it.
