A CATASTROPHE

 

A CATASTROPHE

In the midst of my muddle, he comes

With beautiful promises

The one where he builds me a kingdom,

Kingdom of love and only love.

Hands me the key of palace so profound,

A celestial city full of surprises

And I claimed it a connection

A connection of trust and only trust.

 

Of course, I believed them all

Every word he said, every lyric we sung

That what I called an ecstaticity

To dance on a moonlit night

Or just a cup of coffee together

Which I refer now as a damned sprung.

 

Sheesh, what a fool I’ve become to believe,

Believe them all to be a perfect remedy

For every grief, for every aches

For the anguish with its own flakes

See what a fool I’ve become to believe,

Believe that together, we were a grand melody.

Oh dear, what happened to us?

What happened to our love?

The love that made us so full of life

The love of great, great delight

Now I’m left with just a mark

A mark of your last words that made a cut,

A cut, yes, deeper than the knife.

 

What about the already made plans?

Were they all supposed to be this abandoned?

The love that once shined brighter than the sun

Now brews like a storm on a calm sea

With them all fleeting,

I’m left stunned

 

Whispers of betrayal, started soft and benign

Sweet fragrance vanished in bitter of throes

You faded, faded every while until I had to leave

And now, I can no longer call you mine.

You turned the table when our love was on apogee

Robust emotions and sweet pledges, but a trap

And the love, that I once believed

To be a glory of mankind, is now just a catastrophe.
